Why why why for the love of god why

My daughter is 20 months and has been reliably sleeping through for about six months. Until this week. Monday she woke at 3, wouldn't settle till 5:30. Tuesday 12:30 till 2. Two nights of respite and then tonight - oh, tonight's peachy. She's been awake since midnight, still really unsettled, lots of crying. Given calprofen in case of teeth, given cuddles, left her alone.. still awake. What is this??? God, I actually thought we'd cracked it. Am about to join her in crying.

I would guess teeth, even though you have given Calprofen. Usually turns out to be the reason in our house.

Have you just started weaning her onto food? With my first, he was a terrible sleeper, then got better, then we weanen him and he was awake every 2 hours for about 3 weeks...think it's their little bodies adjusting...no problem in joining in with the crying, I do that a fair bit with my DS (3 months old) who is being a right pickle at the moment, good luck x
