My baby is 6 months now. He still wakes up at 3am but he doesn't wake me up anymore. He just go and have a walk (no pee pee) and comes back to sleep. He sleeps in his own bed next to my bed.He used to whine and what we do is ignore him and my hubby scolded him once. Just a firm "No!" and that was the last time he woke us up at 3am unless he needs to poo. Try to ignore your baby when Bailey cries because if you tend to her each time, she will know how to get your attention and that is to cry. It will be pretty hard the first few days but after that, it will be easier for you. You need your sleep. Broken sleep makes people feel very tired because you never go in to the deep sleep stage. I have been there and I know.Keep her crate open, pen her up in an area where she can hear you breath or see you and leave a pee pee pad in there and ignore her. She has a place to "go" when she wants to and she can see and hear you and she is safe so let her cry it out and not give in to what she wants each time.It may sound cruel but in the long run, its best for you and Bailey. |
