i really need some advise summer is now 5 weeks old and at first she was a lovely contented baby but for the last few nites she has woken at 3am and just refuses to go back to sleep so im up all nite with her.
she does tend to fight sleep alot anyway but i have tried everything i feed her until she wont take anymore i wind her and keep her upright for 30mins as she tends to be sick otherwise, ive tried giving her a dummy but she spits it out i wrap her up so she is nice and cosy defo not cold not too hot either tho but she just fights and fights her sleep and then the next thing i know 3 hrs have gone by and she needs feeding again.

It may just be a phase which will sort itself out- I was at my wits end with Lily as from birth to 6 weeks she never slept at night, then suddenly she started sleeping through and it was nothing to do with me!
Sorry it's not much advice but just wanted to say I know how you feel and it does get better.

As long as you know she's not hungry, needing changed etc. She should be able to cry herself to sleep. It's horrible, but it is the only way sometimes. If you stay up with her as you are doing, she'll start to see it as social time with mum, which you really don't want.
Unless it could be something wrong with her like colic keeping her up?
9.30pm til 5am yay!!!!
and i slept from 9.45pm til 5am lol
feel so so so much better
she must of been knackered she was up all day yesterday and she fed and fed and fed all day!!!!!
so thanks girls now if i can just get her to go from 11pm til 8am that would be perfect lol
