11 mth old DD won't feed to sleep anymore.... bugger... what now?

ps she woke up just before and was blowing raspberries on my tummy.... haha cute....makes it all worthwhile

So cute! My DS does that too! I love it.

I have been having some sleep issues lately with DS. He's about the same age as your DD. It has improved recently as he is now having 1 longer day sleep instead of 2. He was having 2 one & a half hour sleeps at about 9 or 10 then 2 -3. Now he is sleeping 3+ hours over lunch. This has improved things considerably & he has stopped fighting so much when it's sleep time. I guess he just wasn't tired before. The routine is still out of wack but it is gradually settling down. He was also waking regularly at night, I think it was a combination of teething & not being tired enough. Now he is back to waking just once. I also think he is going to start walking soon so going through one of those milestone phases.

Sorry that's a bit wordy.

I hope you get some sleep soon.

Similar thing happening in this house! DD hasnt fed to sleep in almost two weeks. She slept the full night in her pram last night(finally fell asleep around 2 am Aaaaargh) after me trying boob, patting , rocking, repeat repeat

Will your DD go to sleep in her pram? We have been taking DD for a walk(covered so she cant see all the action) and then transferring DD into her cot at night once she is in a deep sleep. Although last night we couldnt make the transition... Its handy as we can just have the pram next to our bed too if need be.

Ive been fantisising this week about CC as bad as that sounds it just feels like everyone who does it has perfect babies who sleep happily at bed time without a peep. I jnow thats not the way it works though...

Good luck with your appt Shanti.

peach. I think we have all fantasised at some point!

Our babies WILL sleep better in time! In the meantime we are creating perfectly attached babies, who feel secure and confident in the knowledge you are always there. I just have to look at the confident, outgoing, smiley little girl I have to know its all worth it!

Maybe we should all start threads about how to get extra help so we can sleep in the day and not worry about other things, so we can parent in a way that is best for our family.

gentle parenting is hard sometimes!
