Hello! My DD is 8 months old and is wakening at 4am (5am maybe once a week) and will not go back to sleep. She moans for about 20 mins and then descends into screaming. We have tried cc, bringing her in with us (nightmare, she just thinks it's play/crawl time), early bed time/ late bed times...etc...
I work full time and currently 11 weeks pregnant. I really can't cope with this much longer. She sleeps well from 7pm-4am but obviously I cannot go to bed at 7pm as this is when I need to eat, shower, prep for work etc.
She naps well and has a good bedtime routine. I cannot think what we are doing wrong!
She is fully weaned and has plenty to eat so doesn't need a night feed. When we get up she isn't really looking for her breakfast and is happy to play until everything is organised.
I'm at the end of my tether- any helpful suggestions would be welcome! Please no "you're lucky she goes down at 7pm" comments. I know I'm lucky with that so any kind of support/ suggestions would be much welcomed!
