Re: my baby

IM sorry to break the news to you but sometimes it goes on longer then you would like. My daughter is almost 10 months old and still hasnt slept through the night. We have brought every book on the subject and own a small library now but nothing is working for us. It may be something you will have to wait through until she is ready.

Try not to stress about it. Do what you can but as happy-mum says, they dont all sleep through at 5 months. My DD1 slept through at 9 months for 5 weeks, then teething stopped that til 15 months. Im still waiting for DD2 to get the hang of it, and she's 2 in October. I just decided not to worry about it this time and am co-sleeping so I get as much sleep as possible. I worried far too much last time LOL!

Re: my baby

Hi  there! What the others mums said is a good idea to try and i agree with them. I will say something that you can try that worked with both my gals and it might work for you. It sounds a little strange. Go and buy yourself a litttle clock that makes a ticking noise and put it in her bed so she can hear it and see if that works.

I had the same problem with Annaliese when she was 3 weeks old and my mid wifwe told me to do this and it worked a dream and did it from the start with Katherine and she slept all the way through from day one.

Midwife said it sound like the mothers heart beat that they loved while still in the tummy. So if nothing else works for give this a try and hopfully it works for you as it did for me.

Best of luck sweet

Hi, my little Katelyn is 4 1/2 months and I'm doing all Michelle has told you to do and it works. at about 7pm I give her tea Banana or mashed sweet potato then I give her a bath, in the bath I let her kick her legs around for about 10-15 minutes then dress Katelyn in her pj give a breast feed and off to bed she will then wake anywhere between 7-8am.

give it ago and GOOD LUCK

Re: my baby

Hi There, babies will tend to sleep through the night at different ages  . One thing you could try is to give a top up feed just before you go to bed for the night. Try giving a bath at night this will relax her and hopefully help to get her to relaz enough to sleep through the night. I know it is hard waking at all hours of the night but as a mother sometimes we need to let our babies work out the difference between day and night. Is your daughter on solids?? If not try a little baby cereal or mash potato as this may fill her a bit more and may help to get her to sleep through the night as she will be fuller!

Hope this helps a little

Michelle
