DD now 6 months old has only ever slept through twice. But for 2 weeks her wakings seem to be getting worse.
At 8pm she settles in her cot awake and falls asleep herself. However come 2-4 she wakes up and wont go back to sleep. The only way to get her to sleep is to bring her into bed, bf and let her sleep with me. If I attempt to put her back in the cot she wakes up. DP doesnt want her in bed which is why its now becoming a problem. I dont think shes hungry when she wakes as if I do feed her she then doesnt want breakfast. It just makes her drowsy enough to get back to sleep. Lats night she woke at 2am, i gave her the dummy, she woke again at 3am and I brought her into bed but she stayed awake and was playing. In the end we put her back in the cot but then she cries.
What can I do. Ideally I dont want to leave her cry but I need some sleep. All the books say is that the reason they dont settle to sleep is because they dont know how to but as she falls asleep on her own at 8 surely this isnt the problem. She naps for 1hr in morning, 45 mins at lunch and 1 hr at afternoon.
