Hi Ladies, please may i join you too?
Mine is an odd situation, and im constantly raking through threads on bnb to find a similar, so if anyone has had this problem id love to hear how you got past it!!!......
Ruby seems to love her sleep, but in the night, normally 2 or 3 times, she will cry out, and when i go into her she is sat up at the end of her cot crying. If i lay her back down and put her dummy in (if its fallen out) she goes straight back to sleep again. As she isnt waking for bottle or cuddles, why is this??
She has also developed a hatred for being put in her cot awake for naps as well as bed...could this be linked?? If perhaps she falls asleep in my arms, then wakes up in the night in her cot, is it confusing her??
Im not sure if its cos shes learnt this new skill fairly recently, but she gets stuck and cant figure out how to get back down, i just wish shed stop sitting up!!!
Any ideas?? Thanks ladies! x
At 3 days, this is 100% normal and I'm sorry I have no other advice except to wait it out. Are you swaddling? She very likely requires you to recreate the womb for her, being free in this wide world is scary, a very tight swaddle lots of rocking, shushing, jiggling. She goes through growth spurts and growing hurts, literally, so she will do this as she also does not know day and night. I wish I could do more for you but you'll need to take turns holding her and sleeping. She may need to "marathon nurse" all night, try laying down in the bed with your breast out and her beside you.
