Hey Jo

Sorry to hear that things are a bit tough with little Jenna...I think one of the hardest things with babies is that things are always changing...just when you think you've got it sorted...they change!

Babies do have one long awake period in the day...and it looks like Jenna may have chosen her wake period to be 6pm-11pm...during Felix's long awake period, I do some cluster feeding...giving feeds about 1.5 hours apart...so between 5 and 9pm he has up to 3 feeds...this seems to help a bit...

I've heard about using a wheat pack in the bassinette, just to warm it up so when you put Jenna down she still feels the warmth.

Also...have you got the bassinette on an angle...just put a folded towel or blanket under the mattress end where her head will lie...sometimes that helps...

Maybe also try a bath, just to settle her down a little...

How is she sleeping during the day? One thing I found helped when Felix was Jenna's age was to be pretty routine with making sure that between waking for a feed and going back to sleep again, there wasn't more than 1-1.5 hours awake time. That way, he got to sleep before getting too over tired. The child health nurse told me that he was quite an alert little thing and that I needed to make sure he wasn't getting over stimulated...that seemed to help.

Wishing you all the very best...just know that IT WILL GET BETTER!!!

Hang in there chickie!
