Laurin.. oh you poor thing. Would standing in there and patting her to sleep help any? When i transitioned from rocking Jesse as he was getting too heavy, i started out by rocking him in his room. When he started to nod off id then put him in bed (if she starts to get heavy take a chair in and rock on the edge of it). I did that for a few days and slowly creeped it up to putting him in bed when it was bed time, but id stand in there next to him, put his dummy in etc. If he got all worked up and started crying or screaming i would pick him up until he settled back down again and was on the verge of falling asleep, then put him back to bed where he's soon fall asleep there. Once he got use to being in bed with me next to him, as he started to fall asleep, id walk to the other side of the room where he couldnt see me and wait for him to fall asleep. Again if he got upset id go back to him. Just repeating that process slowly, he now can be put in his room and fall asleep himself. Its a long process but it seemed to work for him quite well, rather than the sudden transition to fall asleep on his own. But :hugs: hun you are doing a great job and you are a great mum!

Shell..poor ash. Try and get an early night if you can. Hope shes better soon.
