Pixie & Mel - I do hold her against me, dummy shoved in and try to wait till the fight goes out of her...but I'm talking 30 mins! She's just super stuborn! I've also tried putting her down. She just keeps working herself up and making it hard to settle her.

Queen - I don't want to get into the habit of having to hold her while she sleeps. I think it may just set me up for more dramas later if she gets used to it.

I have called Karitane in desperation and am going to try and get a home visit from one of the volunteers for some ideas. If no luck there, a stay at the sleep centre may be in order
