My five week old daughter will not settle to sleep until 1-2am, me and my husband are just exhausted and really need this to change. She sleeps till 6.30 and then wakes for a feed, she doesnt settle back well to sleep then but is restless till about 9.30 when she feeds again and we get up for the day. Usually im out running errands or at mother-baby group./baby massage in the mornings so she sleeps in her pram or car seat most of the time till 1pm feeding about 11 and 1. We have started a bed time routine with bath and breastfeeding in dark bedroom at 8 with soothing music, then we swaddle her and put her in her cot, rock the cot and pat her chest she needs a soother to go to sleep. This worked last night but she was awake an hour later and fed, went to sleep in my arms - I put her down but five mins later she was wide awake... this went on till 1.30am!!!
I was putting her down for a nap in her room (usually in bed beside me she would fall asleep feeding and sleep for 3 hours) between 4-7 which is very late. I didnt do this today as thought it would help for the nights, she slept from 3-4 in travel cot in the living room. I have read the no-cry sleep solution book and am just logging her sleep times at the moment, to be honest im so tired I cant retain a lot of the info I read so maybe the answer is obvious but can anyone help.
