Is she sleeping in a room that is dark and quiet? From my own experience and speaking to other mums quite a few preemies don't like sleeping in the dark and quiet when they first come home as they are used to lights on 24/7 plus all the beeping and nurses chatting that goes on in neonatal.

Might be worth trying a radio on low or a White noise cd to see if that helps at all.

hope you get some sleep soon x

How old is your little one? I have twin boys who are 6 months old who were born at 33 weeks. We have changed our routine this week and have gone from getting up 4 / 5 times a night....... to them both sleeping through, maybe waking once occasionally for there dummy but going straight back to sleep. We did it by changing mealtimes / bottle frequency and times and changing the bedtime routine.
It is so horrible being sleep deprived and especially when you have one waking another. x

My lo is so incredibly noisy in her bed, but vie noticed she's much quieter sleeping on me or when I'm holding her.

Hello! I don't know how young your baby is but I second what lottie said - my own little one needed the lights on and some noise level to fall alseep for a few weeks when he first came home. Nothing too crazy, just the lights dimmed a bit and a radio. Gradually he got used to the quiet and dark.

Keep us posted!
