Hi
Happy New Year to you all I need some advice!!!!!
I have a new starter just turned 1 mum has gone back to work after having a year off. Mum works shifts, little one has been coming for A WEEK lol. She is an absolute darling doesnt cry when left by mum or dad and they say goodbye to her she doesnt cry when put for a sleep sits until goes off, wakes up with a smile really happy. She wakes up at 5-5.30 am in the morning and has a sleep about 1-1 and a half hours after waking in the morning the first time I put her in the travel cot she lay for a while but then cried so I picked her up and put her in the buggy and pushed it for a bit and she fell asleep. i did this because I didnt want her to get soo upset in the cot that she would never go in it and thought perhaps she didnt feel safe enough yet as she hadnt been coming long. She then has a sleep in the afternoon after lunch for an hour to an hour and a half which again she fell asleep in the pushchair as that is when we go for our freshair walk. I have had no problems and have done exactly what mum has asked and managed to get these 2 sleeps in and if anything she has had less sleep. Mum texts me and says she is having terrible trouble getting her to sleep in the day she will go down ok at night but is waking at midnight and not going back off till 4am! Could this be Seperation anxiety or a reaction to the massive change in her routine? please advise as I feel I have done something wrong xx
