DD has never been a brilliant sleeper and aside from 4recent miraculous days when she slept through, has been waking in the night and really struggling to get back to sleep for the last 6weeks or so.
I'm away overnight next Tuesday and Wednesday and we're only coping at the moment because DHand I take it in turns throughout the night trying to get her back to sleep - we need to try getting her at least easy to resettle before I go away otherwise DH will be a total wreck.
Issues:
She feeds to sleep (on a bottle) at bedtime but we don't feed her at night at all
Has a dummy
Nap schedule is non existent, almost like ages been trying to drop her first nap for a while. I rarely get her to sleep in the morning respite her seemingly tired. And she often wakes after 30mins. Can sometimes be rocked back to sleep
We're currently sharing a room with her and have DS(4) and DBro in the house to whom I want to minimize distruption
CC makes her hysterical and clingy
She wakes in the night and though by cuddling/rocking/whatever we can get her into light sleep, she struggles to fall back into deep sleep so wakes when we try to get her back in her cot. Co sleeping only works if she is utterly exhausted. It's not unusual to take 2hours+ until she's fully asleep again
