Genuinely at the end of my tether now. My 12m DD has started waking in the night and screaming until we pick her up and cuddle her. This is after a bad cold and she was very upset so we brought her into our bed. Rod for our own back, I know.
But I'm trying controlled crying now. It's not going too well. I feel like I'm just winding her up more everytime I go in and I'm tempted to just let her cry until she cries herself to sleep. I never get to that stage though. I always end up going picking her up!
Really worried that I'm doing it all wrong! Hate the sleepless nights but hate the crying and screaming just as much.
Any advice? Can I let her cry? Or do I have to go back in?
