yay fantastic news!
just thought i'd pop in an let you all know things are still going great with my DD. - She is in her cot full time now and i have established a good routine for both her day time naps and her nighttime sleep. atm she has 3 naps in the day the last one she wakes up at about 5.30-6.00pm and then i have a quick play with her and then its into the night routine of bath, feed, story and bed. she is now in bed by 7.45pm i do a dreamfeed at midnight and she has been sleeping through until 7.30am!! thanks to all you ladies for your advice and support - it just reinforces for me why i love BB :D
wow! Ella is sleeping much better than my bubba!! I think i better get one of those soother things where did you get it from? Lily has severe reflux and is on meds too, so that's probably not helping.
Really glad everything is going better for you. I found once Lily could settle a bit better I was able to enjoy her so much more and she was also so much happier
Yay, that's great news.
Its such a relief when they're sleeping better isn't it? (Although I wish my bubba slept so long at night without waking...lol)
Well done!
It's only been just over a week with this change in her so i am still in a bit of shock as i dont want to get too excited!!! But yes, its like switch was flicked inside her and she just goes down much better (she does grizzle but it lasts maybe 5-10mins and then she's out) I got the soother thingy from Big W. - it's called the Fisher-Price Rainforest Waterfall Peak-A-Boo Soother :):
I'm still in shock with her sleeping to 7.30am!! - the first time she did it i freaked out cause i thought something had happened to her (her nursery is at the other end of the house from our bedroom) even tho we have the monitor i still thought something was wrong with her and i rushed down and there was still fast asleep (that was at 6.00am) - so im still getting used to the longer stretch and i hope she keeps it up, but i know that things can change so i am still cautiously optimistic :):
So pleased to read that things have improved for you. Thanks for letting us know. It is really nice to hear of success, so often we focus on the difficulties and forget to reflect on the wins! :clap:
May your successes continue and you continue to enjoy your DD more and more every day!
Thanks jackrose - yes i am enjoying DD so much now (not that i wasn't before) but it was difficult when i just couldnt settle her! - and yes you are so right about focusing on the difficulties that we forget about the wins :)
That is fantastic - well done!!!
Aww good for you :) Good to see someone catching up on some zzz's. hehe.
I haven't had a baby that's been too hard to settle, they've either fed to sleep or been rocked, or even self settled (for a little while anyway haha). I haven't felt the need to 'teach' them to self settle as it hasn't been an issue, we don't often battle the going off to sleep, so we just do whatever works at the time (altho I guess some people would think having to feed to sleep or rock them IS battling??).... we just have frequent wakings. But again, they settled quickly through the night, so I never really felt sleep deprivation. Only during teething etc when they actually wake up and cry :(
I hope she keeps up the long sleeps for you! I'd be in heaven I think if I could sleep for 7hrs straight! I'm probably not capable of it now LOL.
