ok, so enough is enough... our sleep regime has begun!

[xxleannexx]

so summer just seems to be getting worse at sleeping, the night terrors seem to have passed and she is just being naughty now. so last night before putting her to bed i decided that tonight is the night to start our strict regime i would prefer to have a couple of weeks of crap sleep rather than a lifetime lol. i knew that it would of had to come to this at some stage so i think the tome is right now, im being cruel to be kind. so basically the regime consist of her not being able to come out of her cot until at least 6.15, if she is crying i will go in every 10 mins reasure her, put her dummy back in, lie her back down and leave and keep doing this until she goes off, gradually leaving in longer before going in.

1st night - went VERY well (i think we had it easy for our 1st night) she went down at half 7 after her bottle, and whinged a little so i ignored her then she went quiet so i went to check she was ok this woke her up lol, but i just left the room and let her fall back to sleep by herself only took a few mins, then she woke up twice in the night (well i think she did) as she was only just moaning for a few mins then fell straight back to sleep i didnt have to go into her once! she then woke up at 6 and i ignored her until 6.15 (she was just moaning not crying) went in to her room and got her and gave her loads of praise, she was happy, i was happy, daddy was happy... so all in all great first night.

i will update 2moz how tonight goes, but now i kno she can do it im even more determined to get sleeping straight through in a couple of weeks which im really positive i can do!

she went back down ay 8:15 for an hour, which i am pleased about as it gives me chance to get showered etc, before when she was coming into bed with me at half 5 messing about for an hour and then going back to sleep for about 20 mins or so she wouldnt go back down after that.

Good luck, I will be interested to hear how it goes. Im having sleepless nights with my 1yr old at the moment but I think its because he has a chesty cough which he cant shift (has had it for 4 months now) so untill that is sorted I wont try any sleep regimes yet.
Good luck

2nd night - wnet really really well again she went down fine at 7.15ish, then didnt hear a peep from her, i think she may have moaned out in the night but by the time had woken up to hear her she was back to sleep so it may have been a dream lol. she then woke upo at half five but i just ignored her, i could her her babbling, moaning and laughing to herself! then it went quiet again so im guessing she went back to sleep for 15 mins or so then we eventually got up at 6.25am, so another successful night with plenty of sleep, and summer staying in her cot all night. i know its only been 2 nights but i really feel like she has got the hint that bed time is for sleeping (fingers crossed anyay)

she is staying at my moms 2nite tho as it was arranged ages ago as me and chris are going up to sheffield as its one of my mates bday who is at uni there and we are stayin in overnight, so i have given her strict rules, which hopefully if she has been as good as the past 2 nights she wont need!
