Q: She won't stay asleep

The last two nights I've been having a hard time getting Jay to stay asleep. She conks out just fine, but wakes up within 5-30 minutes of falling asleep. I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of... I've held her, put her in her car seat, out her in her swing (lying down AND sitting up) put her in her crib (flat on her back, propped up with blankets, and propped on a boppy) lying in her bassinet (same) I've even tried laying down with her. I've given her her Nukky and kept it from her. I've played music and made sure it's silent. She's dry, she's not too warm, not too cold, and she's full. I don't know why she won't sleep! She sleeps from 2 am to 6 am, then 7-11 am, and then is UP except for short naps the rest of the day. I'm getting worried. Is this a phase or should I call the doctor or what?

few nights, not two. I'm not sure how many though. 4 or 5, maybe?

i'm having the same problem with grace at the moment.

i've just been putting her in her pram and taking her with me where ever i go she eventually falls asleep. I think she just feels comfortable knowing that i am nearby.

I sure (hoping) that it is just a phase. Smile

Try putting her on her belly to sleep. MANY babies just cannot sleep on their backs.

Oni didn't start falling asleep on her back till she was about 15 months old. And she'd end up on her belly...still does...LOL!

I agree. We had the same problem with Cheyenne. We put her on her belly and she has slept much better ever since.

She hates being on her tummy, I tried that and she got pissed Laughing

I don't know what was up... she fell asleep at around 3 am that night and has been sleeping normal ever since.
