To want to go to bloody bed?!?!?! aaargh, she just wont sleep, any suggestions, please!

[missmakesstuff]

DD is 15 months. Put her to bed at 7ish as usual, has slept maybe an hour tops in all that time. We have had screaming, shrieking, and now playing.

She has had calpol and neurofen. Teetha powders and rescue remedy night. bf (about a zillion) and some weetabix.

She is now crawling around the front room with the cold flannel I gave her (likes to suck them, teeth) on her head, chattering away happily. Whilst I sit here in the dark and contemplate running away.

DH has gone to bed, no use having us both up, he will take over later if she is still going, god forbid.

I have to get up for work at 6. And teach and hold conversations with adults.

aaaaaaaaargh!!!!

Is she teething? Get down to your local health food shop and ask for some camomille drops to put on her teeth (and your nipples if you are still BF)!

Thanks ever so much everyone, she was finally asleep by about 1:30, then awake again at 3! But we all got a few hours at least, I'm shattered and about to take her to the Docs as now running a temp and hasn't eaten all day, so must just be ill, will just have to ride it out.

Thanks for the advice though, will look into the camomile drops, although we use teetha, which is chamomilla? I think, isn't that the same?

very worried as DH doesn't sleep more than 3/4 hrs a night, awful insomnia all his life - she had better not take after him or they'll be no more!!
