Hi - can't believe I'm still posting on this forum - I thought we'd have sleep sorted by 14 months! How naive.
Anyhow, the latest horror - which has been going on for about 2 weeks now - is extended wakings during the night. They last for 1.5 - 3hrs and can be any time from 12.30 to 4.30am. It's killing me. It seems to have coincided with his starting to walk, but surely that shouldn't last 2 weeks?
I've tried everything - picking him up and rocking him, leaving him, bringing him into our bed, giving him milk/water/extra blankets but the result is the same - awake for about 2 hrs. It's hideous. He seems to be tired, but just can't settle. He's generally capable of settling himself when he wakes up, but for these wakings has mastered this brain-shattering shriek which he can keep up indefinitely with no sign of giving up.
Tell me it will end... I keep telling him he's not going to get and brothers or sisters until he's sleeping better ;)
