Ive had enough!!
in Baby
Hiya!
Well after another night of Isabella refusing to sleep in her cot ive had enough!! basically, Isabella will have her last bottle about 8:30 and i leave her to sleep in my arms for about half an hour before putting her down in her cot, where she immediatley wakes up, she wont go back asleep and starts crying. Ive tried everything, cot mobiles, swaddling, putting her dummy back in but she just lays their crying. Ive had enough because she has been sleeping in the bed with my boyfriend and I! i just wish she would settle in the cot! has anybody got any advice?!? xx

How long are you leaving her to cry? Nathan struggled for a while and we tried controlled crying. The thing it made me realise was how quickly we were going to him as we were trying to settle him before he got too cross. We only let him cry 5 minutes (10 max) but it felt like an eternity. We did it for one night, the second he went down stright away and he's had no problems since (except morning nap which he really fights but things never feel as hard during the daytime so I can handle this one).
Good luck, hope she settles for you soon.

Now she just settles with her mobile and soothing blanket.
Good luck
