This has been going on for a few weeks now, she's always been one to wake up from naps grumpy but this is a whole new level, she's absolutely beside herself. Sometimes I offer bf which does stop the screaming but not for long and if I try and put her back in the cot afterward she goes nuts. I'm trying to stop bf anyway as I'm pregnant and it really hurts.
Normally we give up and take her downstairs and put cbeebies on .The problem is she is STILL tired. I normally have to give her a nap in the morning to get her through the day and another in the afternoon but yesterday she refused the morning one and napped 11.15-2.30 instead. I thought that might actually help but 5am like clockwork she's up screaming again.
Do you think there's anything I can do to help? She went to bed at 7.30 last night- is that too late?? Is she waking up overtired? We normally have to go in at least once in the night to put the dummy back in, and every now and again I hear her cry out but she normally settles herself.
Sorry I'm rambling now. 16 months of crap sleep agh!
