Sleeping problems

My DD has been getting up at around 4 am for the past 2 weeks. Its annoying yes, but ive been dealing with it. At least im getting 6 hours of sleep. It could be worse. So im somewhat grateful.

I just have tons of problems putting her back down after i feed her. She doesnt want to go back to bed and she is too young to CIO. This morning my DH was trying to rock her and i just kept hearing her coo and talk. So he just gave up. I tried the other day and she finally fell asleep but the minute i put her down she is up again. Im at a loss at what to do. If she stays up for like an hour or 2 she will then go back with no problem. She was up at 4 this morning around 530 i put her in the swing and she was out like a light. I totally didnt want to sit in the room and rock her for 1/2 hour and then chance her waking up again. It so frustrating to rock her for that long and all then have to start all over again. This little girl doesnt fall asleep on her own.

Am I doing somethign wrong???

Re: Sleeping problems

would you consider feeding her while she is laying down in the crib?

That's what I did. As long as I caught him before he was hysterical, I would feed him in the crib then he would fall right back asleep. If I picked him up, that's it, he was up for the long haul.
