    2 weeks ago I was at my wits end with Eliza we were constantly up many times throu the night which originally was quick fixed with a feed to wanting to play and not sleep. We then moved on to falling asleep on the couch with either DH or myself until she figured that one out and never fell asleep till 10 -11 pm. So I finally had to give her a few boundries, it was a sort of controlled crying with having a 21 months under her belt she knows what buttons work with mum and dad. I can determine Elizas cries I know when she is pain or has vomited but by going back into her room every few minutes only escalated the problem.
    We now can have cuddles and stories before bed time and she knows that she is in bed to sleep and we will be there in the morning...but it has been a long journey and thankfully we only did one night of it before she figured it out, if it was longer I'm sure I would of needed some help somehow.So if you think it is right for you get some information or someone to support you in your decision cause there is nothing harder in the world to let your baby cry
