Kerrie - yes, we have always had an evening routine for Jacob which has been very successful for him (since about 9 months of age I guess it was actually) and we watch very carefully for tired signs.
Isabel - thanks for sharing that about George. Yes, Jacob is actually 2 next month and we're hoping that by keeping up with our evening ritual and gentle soothing/reassurance that he will gradually re-learn to self-settle, but it's a tiring process in the meantime!
do you think it could be overtiredness? My daughter is doing 2-3 hours a night of being awake (in a row) and it's KILLING me. I think it's a vicious cycle. She is just getting so overtired that settling is becoming impossible, she doesn't sleep well in the day, then nights are stuffed. Sorry i can't help though. It's midnight, she's been awake 2 hours nad Im surfing the net looking for help...can't find any!!!
I have tried everything. I go in and out patting, I even fed her before ( I never do that) and it didn't help. If I get her up she'd play!! I just think she's really frustrated at not being able to sleep. And our stupid neighbours are SO noisy!! better go sorry I couldn't be of any help! xo
