guess i am lucky lilly slept through from birth, she had a poorly stage and was waking 2,3...........10 times a nite, when she was well again it had become a habbit to get up in the nite, i had to leave her to cry within a couple of days she was back to normal, at 9 months she shouldnt really be demanding a feed, as see will be getting enough through the day, its all about teaching them the difference between day and nite, like i never put lilly in her cot through the day for a nap, and never have her naps used to be in her swing or doomoo, and i only had 1 crib, i no some mums have 2 1 for up stairs 1 for down, but i only used the 1 for bedtime, she now naps in her car seat or pram if we are out or on the couch.
i also bath her and dry and dress her in her bed room and give her a bottle for bed in her bed room, usually very little lite and very quiet, then she goes to bed, and i never go running when she crys, i jus check on her very quietly, also if its nessasary to get her out of bed, bum change wat ever, always do it in her room with very little lite, thos makes them understand that dark means bed. i found that has always worked for me. xxxxxx
