Waaaaaaaaa!

Katie is bored of sleeping. Apparently she doesn't like it anymore. Not during the day anyway.

She's still good at night - just one feed from 11pm till 7am. But she really doesn't sleep much during the day. We're trying to teach her to be able to fall asleep by herself (ie. not being cuddled). She lies there for ages, grizzling at first then crying, then grizzling etc. Then eventually she goes for it and screams her heart out.

We have a book that we use a lot called "baby secrets". It talks a lot about routines, and how to get your baby to sleep right through the night. It is mostly very good but one line was a bit irritating yesterday. You'll see what we mean:

"If your baby is crying and has been awake more than an hour and a half - put her down for a nap - she might be tired."

No kidding - she might be tired! If only we'd have thought about putting her down for a nap.

The book also has lots of examples and advice along these lines:

"My baby sleeps all day - I'm so worried - what should I do?"
"I can't wake my baby for feeds - will she be ok?"

That must be awful - having a baby that sleeps too much!

Sorry if I'm a bit sarcastic today - I think our honeymoon period is over - and we're tired.
