My dd2 has been a relatively ok sleeper, would sleep through 5 out of 7 days a week generally. And if woke wud settle back down very quickly. 2 weeks ago she started waking between 12 and 2 for around 2 hours just chatting to herself and her pooh bear. No crying just chatting and laughing. Which despite what her nan thinks is not funny, I'm super tired now. I go through shush her and tuck her in maybe about 3/4 times. But after I go back to bed 5 mins later she starts talking again, this will sometimes last up to 2 hours!! What can I do to stop this? Please help!

Ear plugs...? They block out the chatting but not the crying so you will hear if she needs you.

Do you need to go I to her at all? If she's happy and safe she doesn't need you. If you ignored her would she go back to sleep on her own?
