The Little Ones programme saved us!
My daughter had been an amazing sleeper, even as a newborn while still in hospital, she only woke twice in the night for feeds and by 7 weeks was sleeping through. She would settle with the dummy, white noise and comforter. We then hit around 3.5 months and our sleep was stolen!! She started waking every 45 minutes to 2 hours, purely for the dummy, and would only nap for 20-30 minutes a couple of times a day. We went on like this until we’d had enough around 5 months where we were so sleep deprived!
I was apprehensive at first, but read through the programme over a weekend. The key thing I got from this was we needed better naps, and to ditch the dummy! We went cold turkey with the dummy on the Monday night. By Friday, my little girl slept through the night 7-6am. Once I was confident, I have adjusted the programme to suit my family and our daughter. She now has three good naps a day, and sleeps 6.30pm - 7am! This programme is amazing! It saved me from heading into a dark space of feeling down and hating motherhood. I now have a very happy 6 month old baby girl, and she has a very happy mummy! Thank you Liftle Ones!
