Bedtime
After 3 nights of her falling asleep while breast-feeding, I was wondering what this evening would bring. I didn't give her a bath 'cause we were a bit late from a Sunday afternoon of family gallivanting. She didn't fall asleep breast-feeding so it was with trepidation that I brought her up to her cot.
She was not too impressed to be put in the cot but I gave her cuddles and put her musical toy playing and she seemed sleepy when I lay her down. I said "night night" and left the room...in about 30 seconds, the crying was getting loud and I could tell she was standing up so I went in again. Gave her a hug, lay her back down (musical toy still playing) and stroked her head and put her sleepy teddy beside her and she settled. I said "night night" and left the room and...silence! I stayed up there for a few minutes, busying myself with making the beds (slummy mummy making beds at night, not in the morning!) and still no noise.
I went to look in her room to see if I could tuck her in and my heart leapt into my mouth when she swivelled her head and looked at me. Oh no, had I ruined it?! I quickly turned around and tip-toed out of the room fearing the worst...but no, she must have turned over and gone back to settling. I was amazed! Had this sleep training worked? Watch this space!
