Where is the pulling out your hair smiley?
Nora is a great night sleeper & a decent napper... but putting her to sleep is a nightmare!
She likes to sleep swaddled but fights it, she flails & thrashes. She's never been the nurse to sleep type; she'll doze but always wakes up with in 10 minutes. So I feed her then try to put her to sleep. We can rock, walk, pat, sing, bounce & she still screams till she falls asleep, even from a just nursed calm start. She is essentially CIO, but I find some solace in knowing that she's at least doing it in her momma's arms. I try to put her down when she's been up for two hours, and she goes, after her fight, so I don't think she's over tired. She does have some teeth coming in though.
We're next on the no cry sleep solution book list at the library (though I'm glad someone in my town is reading it :rockon) so I'll be reading it then, but til then any tips on how to keep sane? I know I must be missing something - she's full, clean, tired & comfy - what else?
