dd used to be bad sleeper, got better although has periods of not being so good. However last couple of weeks have been worse. Sometimes sleeping through but taking ages to settle at night. Soemtimes waking in the night and some nights waking and not settling for 2 or more hours.
I know it could be teething, although can't see/feel teeth. Don't think it's separation anxiety as she doesn't mind going to others and doesn't cry when I leave her.
Last night was not good bed 6.45, cried 8.30 and 9.30 although re settled quickly be herself, 10.30- 1am - she was awake with a mix of crying, chatting, moaning, banging her legs, sitting up occassionaly, I gave Calpol about 10.45pm in case of teeth but didn't seem to work. Woke, cried and sat up again at 2.30pm, I went in laid her down and she resettled herslef quickly then up for the day at 6.30am. I am shattered!
Could it be a phase? Anyone had experience of this. She chats and babbles a lot, says hello, mumumum, dadadad and is very strong willed (knows what she wants/doesn't want). She cannot easily be persuaded! She has started move around more (her own version of a bit of crwaling, commando style moves and rolling!) Could these things be related?
