Hi I’m new to mumsnet and I am really struggle putting my 14 month old to sleep she’s an angel during the day but at night time it’s another story I am up about 2 to 3 hours a night to the point where I have to give her an extra bottle.

sometimes I feel like a bad mum because I can’t get her to sleep and it doesn’t that I am back to work and feel like I look like a walking zombie I was just wondering if anyone had any helpful tips.

Hello and welcome! I have had a very similar situation with my 13mo lately, who is also teething, so I get how tough it can be....as its only been a couple of weeks I would 'wait and see' if things improve...could she be undertired or overtired though? And I wouldn't restrict her milk if that's what she's wanting...the suckling will soothe her mouth and the comfort may settle her back to sleep quicker.Are you using teething medication?

Hi she usually has a bottle at night time then she half falls asleep on me then I put her in her cot she usually goes down and just gets up once but for the last couple of weeks she just hasn’t been wanting to sleep but today I did notice an extra tooth trying to come through so I don’t know if it’s maybe teething

Is the issue putting her down as well or waking in the night? Does sge fall asleep herself in a cot, in arms or on a feed?
