sleeping

we have been really trying to sort out emilys nightimes this week!!! she has been quite hard putting to bed and every night ended up in with us at some point.
so i have been trying to make bedtime calmer - we have had a bath together everynight and given her loads of warning about when bedtimes coming etc.
then when she comes in during the night i have been getting up ( not easy ) and taking her back to her own bed. she never wakes more than once and one night she actually managed the whole night without waking at all!!!!!
i tried to bribe her but she is not going for that she is way to stubborn!!!!! but she is very pleased with herself when she wakes up in the morning

hope it carries on this way.xxx

hmm dont no wot 2 say but didnt want 2 read aand run.fingers crossed she'll sleep thru agen x

she was an angel till she was 8months - never woke in the night once - even for a feed!!! she has certainly made up for it now!!!

she is nowhere near as bad as she was - we used to have spitting, kicking, screaming fightin at bedtime so thats why we concentrated on gettin her into bed and didn't worry about her coming in with us in the night!!
but with me being pretty uncomfy and the fact that when she comes in she has to cuddle me and me alone it was getting hard, and with the new coming etc.xx

aww it tough isnt it,josh was a nitemare 4 waking in nite he;d wake 5 times a nite grrr

tom was like that - in fact he just fed all night .xx

must b a boy thing,hes only just started thru hes now 3 and half

- u must have been knackered !!

when emily was born, tom was 2 and 4months and he was still up in the night - lucky for us she wasn't!!

hope my next one doesn't follow the trend !!!

last night was good, she went to bed bout 7.45, settled herself by 8.30 ish, she woke once in the night but just opened her bedroom door and got back into bed, she then woke up at 7.15 - quite a suprise really as tom was up coughin half the night.xxx

i think i just got used 2 not

well done emily keep it up 4 mummy xxx

aww bless ... Bob has never really been a problem .. only occasionally wil he wake .. Russ has always done the night thing ... ie. put bob to bed and he is quite strict with him .. he just goes up without turning the light on settle him back down without talking to him and walks out ... sometimes he will but we leave him unless of course he really in distress .. a few nights like that and he realises that we wont take him out/in our bed/downstairs x

last night, i got up but only cos we thought we heard one of them so went and tucked them both back in!!!!!!

thats much better hun xx

it is!!! i can't believe it worked tbh - she is so stubborn i thought she would have fought against it more.xx

that is great hun god kids can be so stubborn cant they i know grr xx

yep!! i could always bribe tom to do anything but she will not go for that at all..xx

must be girls thing had so many probs with alicia lately she used be great slept
staight thou as a from 8 weeks then few months ago was nightmare but settling some nights ok now xx

aww great news x

i half gave in last night - she came in at 5ish and i just let her, partly cos i couldn't move and also cos she thought it was morning anyway..xx

i put her back in bed again at 1am - she got really upset and was nearly sick but settled quite quick.xxx

So does she seem to be more settling down quicker ... its hard cos if bob wakes up about 5am onwards I tend to get him and bring him into bed with me x
