night feeding and sleeping wits end....
I am getting to my wits end......my little one goes to bed at about 10-10.30, she wakes up between 4-5am, I am breastfeeding at night which she takes very well, feeding for about 10-15mins, she then falls asleep which can be difficult to get her burped. However once asleep I then put her back in her cot, minutes later she is awake crying, I get her put her back to sleep put her in the cot and again awake and crying, this goes on for an hour until i either put her in with me or, for the last couple of nights, I have given her a dummy. I have also tried putting her back in the mosses basket to make her feel secure, my husband has tried putting her to sleep too. I have also fed her again and again thinking she hasn't had enough but as soon as she is on she falls asleep. She does settle with the dummy but if this falls out when she is still a little awake she cries, and she does settle when in with me but I don't get a good sleep and I don't want to get into this habit.
Anyone else have this problem or had this problem and what did you do????????? I'm beginning to bicker with my husband over it too.

Yoou said she is difficult to burp do you always manage to burp her could it be a wind pain?
Alyssa was like this for a while always waking at 4ish and would only sleep if we put her in with us, we are really lucky now that she self settles and can be put down in her cot awake and get herself off to sleep, have you tried getting Tilly to settle her self?

Clair, good to hear from you! How are you?? seen the new photos, Alyssa is gorgeous! I am at my wits end, she is fab during the day but at this time of night I am having a nightmare. she has me stumped too!!!!!! x x x
I was going to say have you tried sleeping her on her side? Another lady i know had a little girl who would only be cuddled to sleep so she bought one of these

and when you fasten it snug it kind of tricked the baby i think into thinking mummy was still cuddling her and she slept like a dream just cause we bought one for Alyssa when we wre having a tough time at night but by the time we ordered it and it was delivered she started sleeping really well and on her back so we never opened it so it's still in the box and we have no use for it, i could stick it in the post to you if you like?
