Best thing I purchased was a sleep sheep which is a teddy that plays whale music and rain etc. It goes for 20 or 40mins.

Another is to warm his/her bed with a hot waterbottle before you put him in (don't leave it in there with him/her though!!!! Very dangerous!)

Be great to hear other peoples tips.

Her monitor that plays music. Its fab and she now associates it with naps which is good.

Dummy. She can sleep without it but it makes her scratch her eczema and get stressed out.

Sleeping bag!!!! I think it was the sleeping bag that helped her sleep so well. I now use it for naps as well and its fab!

Stroking her nose as well can send her to sleep soooo well.

Same as above 'winnie the pooh' light show works a treat! Also dummy and I find feeding last feed in dim light room all quiet, really settles him! xx

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Sounds cheesy but routine!! When he wasn't used to it, he was a nightmare to get to sleep. After 2 weeks of the same routine he now loves going to bed!
Also same as tinkerbell and twinkle, whinnie the pooh night show! It's got to be on the 10min setting though, 5min's isn't enough for him otherwise he starts chatting to himself! Lol

 

[tinkerbell86]

LM - H is the same i find him oooh-ing ang arrr-ing to himself lol!

I swear by padding out Lizzie's crib with rolled up blankets, the first time I did this she slept for a good 5 hours whereas before she was up every 2 hours

Ooh, do you mean just either side of her so she's a bit more enclosed? Might try this with Ella...

I tried stroking Lizzie's nose after reading this, worked fantastically, she was asleep within 2 mins!

Kieron likes to b swaddled but has to have his hands free-I've got a feeling he spent a lot of time with his hands in his mouth whilst in the womb cos of the funny movements I used to get down there,anyway he hates having his hands covered or restricted xx
