Hi Milly,

I don't think you have completely stuffed up at all! She sounds much like my DS. I have stopped trying to put him to sleep in the day time as I felt I was wasting so much time rocking him, bouncing him in his hammock or trying to feed him to sleep with no success. Now I just wear him on my back when he gets tired, sometimes he has a nap sometimes he doesn't.. when he doesn't though at least he is having quiet restful time on me, which I think is the next best thing to a nap. It is very frustrating though, my mum can rock him to sleep in five minutes without even a grumble from him. He has been having one, sometimes two naps a day anywhere between half - 1.5 hours. I just try to remember that he is growing quickly and his sleeping will continue to change as he grows.

I was going out of my mind when I was focussing on his sleep, but now I just go with it.. I don't think about how much sleep he 'should' be having, I don't notice the time so much, and I'm feeling sooo much more relaxed and happy.
