]]> There is no single approach to baby sleep problems that works for all babies.  It is important to realise that what worked for your friend, mother or mother-in-law may not work for you and your baby.  It is important to try new programs if others have failed, if they don’t work, Stop!  You can try again taking the positives of the programs that you have experimented with.

Be aware that what works today may not work over time as your baby progresses through the various stages of infancy.

Keep trying and don’t lose faith, you will find the right sleep program for you and your baby!

Ive been giving her calpol and nurofen but nothing seems to work. Any advice please…”

It sounds like your lo might be overtired going to bed and then has a restless night sleep. If this is the case when a baby gets overtired the brain releases toxins to help the child battle sleep therefore the child can’t settle to a proper nights sleep. Check her sleep pattern during the day and make sure she is getting an adequate sleep. At that age your child should be getting between 1.5 & 3 hrs a day. This may be spread between one short nap in the morning, lunch time nap and maybe 20mins nap in the afternoon. If I was you I would keep a sleep diary for a couple of days to see if there is any sort of pattern to the problem.

Also the child might not have good sleep associations. If your child falls asleep in a chair and you move her to the cot your child will get very upset when she wakes and will not be able to go back to sleep. If your child falls asleep with a dummie in her mouth and if its not there when she wakes up she will also get upset and not be able to get back to sleep, basically if the child wakes during the night and if everything isn’t the same as when she went to bed you’re in trouble!!

So I reckon your best bet is to keep a diary for a couple of days and see whats going on then decide on what you want to do. If you find this any use and you’d like any more info just email me.
