Hello. My 16 month old has never been an easy sleeper. We followed the same routine we did for our first who was a great sleeper but I guess all babies are different. But 16 months on, we’re exhausted. She is up several times a night and the only way we can get her back to sleep is to stay in the room with her until she’s fully asleep which can take up to an hour.
She self settles at bedtime and nap time, we put her down sleepy but awake. She does however, still have a dummy. It is on a comforter so she has no issues finding it in the night.
She naps well at home, usually 2-2.5 hours but at nursery (twice a week) has Max an hour. It makes no difference on the night either way.
We’re just not sure what to do next. Is it the dummy? Any techniques we can try that won’t involve hours of crying and waking our eldest?
