This is going to be more of a vent than anything, but if you have any ideas that would be great.
About 3 weeks ago I did CC on my DD, and after 3 days everything was great, and up until today (3 weeks later) everything has been great.
But all of a sudden today we are back at square one again. If not worse!
She hasnt slept all day. I tried doing CC on her again but it just didnt do anything, no progress AT ALL.
She did cut 2 teeth on wednesday, but it made no difference to her sleep at all, unless theres a 3 day delay or something.
She isnt sick, coz she is happy when im not trying to get her to sleep, regardless of how tired she is.
Im just feeling so disappointed that we have yet again gone back to square one with a sleep routine, which has happened to every other approach we have tried, it just goes out the door 3 weeks later and doesnt work again.
I dont know what to do :( We have tried everything, I really thought CC would be the winner...it really seemed like it.

I had a few misses with CC with my two boys but I didn't stop. I just gave them extra cuddles on their off night and tried again the night after. Persevere for a little longer and maybe adapt it a little to suit her needs. If it doesn't work after a week of trying then I'd look into something else (hopefully not all options have been exhausted). How old is DD?

She is 7mths.
We have tried so many things, from rocking, driving, feeding to sleep, patting to sleep, co-sleeping, you name it and its likely we have tried.
I guess it could be a off day, maybe my timing today just wasnt as good as usual and she got overtired?
Ahh im just bummed coz it was so good, i could put her down and she would go to sleep not even a peep. I knew it was too good to be true.
Thanks for your reply :) Its given me hope.
