Calling all Mums!

[Cathy]

Got your attention!

I'm having a bit of a problem with DD 1, when i put her down to sleep at night, she gives a bit of a protest, but goes to sleep and then within half an hour to an hour she wakes screaming hysterically and then i can't get her back to sleep. I pick her up and she calms down quickly until i put her down in the cot, then she starts crying hysterically again. I've tried the controlled crying, but it's not working or i'm not doing it right! It takes me an hour or so to get her back to sleep and it involves me staying in her room to do that. She is suffering from a cold, but is coming out of it now so didn't think that would be it.

Any ideas?

Hi Cathy, I had the same problem with Joshua when he was little. I took him to the sleep centre at Sunshine Hospital. They were fantastic! Problem solved. I have the DVD that they have produced, if you like you can borrow it when I see you at Jans next.

that would be great Jody... I should be there next fortnight!

Thanks

yes i remember going though the same thing with my eldest. I would have to stay in her room everynight until she feel asleep.

Hi Cathy, I will be there this Wednesday coming. Will you be there.
If not, I will ask DH to burn a copy (although he is suffering from quite a bad toothache so it may not be yet)

I think this Wednesday is a class night, so i won't be there, but will be there the next week. You can leave the CD with Jan if you like...no hurry if hubby is not well though.
Thanks again.
