ok, so i admit that my dd's sleeping problems have been totally encouraged by me as i selfishly needed some sleep myself but now i have a big problem. dd is 12 mo, and in the summer holidays, began waking anywhere between 4 and 5.30 and would not be settled with any of our usual methods, only with milk. i realised that if i fed her with her 'breakfast bottle' she would go back to sleep till 6.30 / 7 and i too could sleep. this was exacerbated when we went to stay with various relatives and i was terrified her shouting would wake everyone up.
now, she is still wanting to be fed and then will sleep again till around 6.15 but i am exhausted with these night feeds and know she shouldnt have them. can anyone offer any help?
i have tried leaving her but she will grumble on and on till i get her. i managed 6 am one mornibng but then she was shattered as she had been awake since 5. also, now back at nursery,she rarely sleeps in the day for more than half an hour so is past herself at bedtime.
any suggestions? (sorry for the essay )
