My 17 month old is usually a fine sleeper- bed c. 8/8.15pm- sleeps for 11-12 hrs and a 1-2hr nap every day. Today same as any other.
Wet herself at 10.30- changed and put back to bed- screamed non stop since
No signs of teething
Had 3 more nappy changes
Given nurofen in case teething
No temp
Wants to be held but when brought into my bed thinks it’s play time and won’t settle
I’m about to lose my mind!!!!!!

Just a bad night?

Give her no attention
No talking, no lights
Make it very boring
Hopefully she will fall asleep

Thanks for responding, I appreciate no one can do anything via the internet I just wanted someone to empathise maybe. You’re prob right just a shit night

Is she sore in the nappy area? Just thinking maybe it's stingy when she pees?

Might just be one of those days though (nights) - I think sometimes we all are guilty of looking for explanations for everything kids do but often there isn't one, just like adults:

Interested in this thread?

ear infection or sore throat perhaps?

Hungry?

So 4 nappies between 10.30 and 1.30?

Maybe a urine infection

If shes weeing that much, she needs those fluids replacing

Started up again at 3- I’m making another bottle, in my head I’m screaming, this is worse than either of my newborns.
She’s fine when I’m holding her so I’m ruling out infections and pain. I don’t get how she hasn’t passed out yet
