Getting her to sleep

Oh no! Hon that sucks, i totally feel you, DS was the same he would sleep 4hour naps in the day then 2hours at night and i'd spend another 2 hours trying to get him back to sleep!

No magic solution from me (hope someone has one though) i just persevered and stuck to the same solid as a rock routine every time. Dark boring room, quiet nappy change, all business with the feeding then burped and back into bed. When he fussed i'd pick him up and sooth him and put him back. Repeat x1000.

A sleeping bag of all things really helped me too - i got a light merino one from baby city for i think $35, its quite small and light so it was no drama to remove him from bed in the sleeping bag, unzip and change him, feed him in it then back into bed. In a sense he never left his bed that way, he stayed warm and in 'bed' mode the whole time. He was settling like a trooper very quickly after that. Could have been co-incidence though.

Oh, and rocking always seemed to keep DS awake weirdly, i think it stimulated him too much. I walked with him if he wouldnt settle, face into my neck so he couldnt see anything exciting.

Oooh and sometimes after he'd fed i'd put him up on my shoulder to burp him and just leave him there and he'd nod off on me (he'd never self settle either) then i'd sneak him back into bed.

I'll stop rambling! hope you can find something that helps soon xx

Sounds like she has her night and day muddled up.

Maybe try getting her up at about 7am (ish) tomorrow regardless of what time she finally nodded off (last thing you'll feel like doing, I'm sure) implement the eat, play, sleep routine and try to get her back to sleep 45-60 mins after you woke her up.

Then for the rest of the day wake her for 3-4 hourly feeds with some play time each cycle, even if it's just a few mins on the playgym with the aim to have her back in bed 45-60 mins after waking until late arvo.

Then do you bath/bedtime routine and see if she'll go down for a decent period.
Treat any wake ups/feeds from that time on as night-time with dim lights, no noise, minimal talking/eye contact etc.

Good luck and also check out The Sleepstore website, they have heaps of useful info

Not sure what you are doing at night, but keep it dark - i only ever use the light on my cell-phone, have minimal interaction, ie feed her only, in the dark with absolutely no talking. Only change her if she has done poos.

Also, do have the head end of her bed raised to help with reflux as someone else suggested.
