Hollye - It's amazing how much happier babies are after a good sleep! I just wish it was easier to get them to sleep when they need it!

Well I'm already having a bad day. Last night we finally got Maya to go to sleep around 8.30pm. Then she woke at 10.30pm, 2am and 6am. Normally she goes back down for a sleep in the morning, but she didn't want to sleep, so I figured that she needed some play time. But she kept crying no matter what I did! I finally fed her again at 8.30am. Normally by that time I've done two feeds not three! Then she was yawning heaps so I tried putting her down for a sleep and I kept having to go to her every few minutes!

I don't know how any of you manage to settle your babies in their beds! If I try and settle her in bed she just gets louder and louder! So I always have to pick her up and walk around for ages till she goes back to sleep!

And I find it so hard when she's crying a lot. I start to question everything - is she hungry again? Is she over tired? Does she need play time? Should I persist with trying to put her to bed or play with her or feed her?! I often wonder if I'm doing the wrong thing and that's why it's a battle to get her to sleep!

Ah she's awake again.. gotta go. Hope everyone else is having better days so far!
