My name is Stacey, im 21 years old. I am mummy to Danielle, 16 months old. Danielle is a lovely contented baby during the day. She does not eat a huge amount of solids, but what she is eating is healthly. She is still having (2-3) 7oz bottles of sma progress milk, most of which is during the night. Danielles bedtime routine was recommended to us by the health visitor, but has still not resolved our biggest problem, which is starting to get me and Danielles daddy down now. <br /> <br /> Here is our bedtime rountine, Danielle has a bath, then comes in the lounge and has a bottle whilst watching balamory. I then take her to her bedroom at about 8pm and we have a kiss and a cuddle then she goes into her cot with her dummy and i leave the room. she has no problem what so ever falling asleep, its staying asleep thats the problem. she usually wakes between 12-3am and will not settle unless i give her milk and take her to bed with me, she will then wake 1-2 times more and will only settle after milk. <br /> <br /> We have tried not taking her to bed with us and not giving her milk but nothing is working , she will start crying until she is sobbing uncontrolably. After an hour of this i usually give in and take her to bed with us. <br /> <br /> We are very desperate to get Danielle sleeping all night and in her own room. We would love to have another baby but don
t feel this is possible as Danielle is too demanding during the night.
PLEASE can you offer any advice, we really need your help.
