Kell HUGE hugs to you!

Can I say firstly that you are doing a fantastic mummy job. It's hard to not doubt the techniques though, I know, especially when people around you are quck to judge and offer 'advice' like 'cry it out' sleep training. Jazz went through a funny bit where 2am was wake up and cry time, and as soon as I put her down... ANYWHERE... she's scream like I laid her on a bed of nails. I think I remember you read "Science of Parenting"? Its hard but in the times when you're rocking DD and shes screaming her head off that you're doing the best thing for her Its enough to want to rip out your hair one strand at a time when bubs are screaming the neighbourhood down at 1am, but don't doubt yourself and your mummy instincts.

I don't know if this is something that would work, and to be honest I don't know if its the reason Jazz sleeps, but I think that the EBM bottle I give her at bedtime helps to tide her over from 8-9pm until about 4am. I don't know what it is, maybe that she gets more from the bottle, or that it comes out quicker than the boob (not much quicker though, they're very slow teats) so she doesn't fall asleep before she has it all, but I do think that it helps her to sleep.

A LC also suggested giving Jazz 20-30mL of cooled and VERY weak chamomile tea (no sugar, hooney, milk obviously). I haven't tried it though, but I probably would if she got all funny again. I have heard though that it shouldn't be used before 6 months, though the LC told me last week to try it if Jazz was unsettled.

I know you've tried pretty much everything else so I don't have much more to suggest, I don't know if you've tried this, but if youhaven't I hope that it helps. If you have and I hope you find something that works and helps get Seven off to sleep.
