Hiya, can anyone offer any suggestions or advice please?
DD 18 months used to sleep through for around 9 or 10 hours every night but since early November this has mostly stopped and she is waking up usually around 4am but will not be settled back to sleep, she stands up and is wide awake and wanting to get up and play.
She is mostly not upset, just babbling away and keen to wake us up for some fun and games. (She sleeps in a cot in our room.)
Over the last couple of months I have tried all sorts. We tried getting her up quietly and doing nappy change and milk but she still didn't go back down. We tried bringing her into bed with us but she just wants to bounce on us and not sleep.
She goes to nursery three mornings a week and is very tired after being awake in the night but we cannot seem to get her to sleep much earlier. Or when we do, this just shifts the wakeful period forward.
I am 26 weeks pregnant and am now really panicking about what will happen when the new baby arrives (plan was to move DD into her own room by now) plus I am very tired!
DD naps a couple of hours after lunch, I cannot stop her napping as she just falls asleep, and if I cut the nap short she gets very grumpy.
Any ideas welcome! Thanks!
