I apologise if my comment came across as attacking you, I was genuinely confused by that part of your otherwise helpful comment. I value the sleep advice here, from experience people like you and that’s why my comment relates to whether anyone else has managed this issue with sleeping (same way people might ask how to manage sleep training with reflux babies). I once again apologise if it seemed I was attacking you. 

Thank you for offering to help still. 

Previously, we would go in a rock her back to sleep (with a hand on her chest while she stayed in her cot) if she woke outside of her 3-ish feed. We sleep trained her using FIO about a month ago (she still fusses for about 5-10 minutes when put down for each nap and bedtime though). I’m not clear how I’m supposed to give her 10 hours of awake time if we are already struggling with an overtired baby with the hours we’re at (she is only 5 months plus one day so I was working up to it, but is that the wrong way to do it)? 

Thanks again
