First of all, we have a great bedtime routine. She always has a 4oz bottle then we play, take a bath, etc & then after an hour or so we go into her room & I give her a 2oz bottle & read her the same story & she goes right down - in her crib, on her back. I whisper her prayers & she is asleep before I leave the room. She sleeps anywhere from 5-7 hours straight at night.
BUT, during the day is another story all together.
We have found that she really prefers to sleep on her stomach. She sleeps longer and better.
So when she wakes in the morning, we give her a 6oz bottle & then play for an hour or so & then try to put her down on a blanket on the floor of her room, on her stomach.
As soon as we set her down she starts to cry. Sometimes this cry is just a wimper & then fades to her falling asleep within 30 seconds & other times she has to reach a full on wail for about 2-5 minutes before she tires herself out and then finally falls asleep.
Is this typical? Any suggestions?
