White noise?

[Sazzle]

I'm trying to crack down on daytime naps (again) as she gets sooooooo grumpy in the afternoons and does my noodle in :loco:

Anyway, she went down about 12.45, and to help her on her way, I have left my breastpump going :teehee: which seems to work, but every time I go up, she'll be fast asleep so I turn it off, and within ten minutes she wakes, cries, I go and turn it back on and she goes straight back off again.

Do I have to leave it on the whole time? She doesn't have anything like that at night.

Any advice? :flowers:

DD listens to Radio 5 Live at nap times, it's only on very quiet though, but works for her.

I have a white noise cd which was a godsend. bought it off ebay for about £2.00.

Oooh good ideas ladies, I don't want to wear out the motor on my pump :teehee:

I think I might buy a blind for her room too, it's very light in there :scratchchin: It doesn't help that my neighbour is a taxi driver so his car is coming and going every ten minutes right under her window, car door clamming, engine starting up etc :rolleyes:

Thanks ladies, good suggestions :thumb: I think I'll try them one at a time and see what works best

Thank you :flowers:

Why not just leave to radio on untuned?

I find that however Ivy falls asleep, the conditions need to remain the same or she wakes up. eg, if she falls asleep in the pram, she wakes when it stops. :doh:
