4.5 hours and i think dd is finally out! i dont know what im doing wrong though. I started at 9 by getting her ready. normally we lay in my bed and i nurse her to sleep. well that didnt work tonight. i rocked her sleep she wakes up as soon i lay her in bed. at one point she was asleep had been for about 30 min i get up to use the bathroom and she is awake again!! i cant handle it any more! this is the 3rd time this week its been hard to get her asleep. i am just so tired!! i dont care about waking up every 2 to 3 hours if only i could get to go to sleep. i dont know what to do to get her to stay asleep!

    have you tried putting LO to bed earlier? Or is there lot of stimulation around her?

    Sometimes if LO is over tired it's really hard to get her to unwind for sleep.

    Sorry to hear it is so hard. When DD was your LO's age I could not keep an early bedtime. Mostly I sat with her until I went to bed myself at 11pm. Of course it is good to have an early bedtime, but sometimes they are just not ready. DD didn't move bedtime to 7 before at 3 1/2 month. My trick was and still is to hold her tightly upright before laying her down. For some reason the hugging helps her feel warm and secure. And always feet first. Hope it gets better tomorrow.
