Hi
I have a 20 month old who in general sleeps fine - goes to sleep 7.30 / 8 without normally any fuss and sleeps for about 11 hours. However every so often - at least once every two weeks she wakes up in the middle of the night - say 2am - and is ready to start the day. We've tried a couple of different things e.g. trying to cuddle her to settle her, bringing her into bed with us, telling it's night time and to go back to sleep, giving her a bottle - but it hasn't worked. We've now resorted to leaving her in the cot but it can easily take a couple of hours plus before she falls back to sleep and obviously she is crying for quite a bit of the time. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong - she just wants to be up and out.
Has anyone had a similiar situation or any ideas? Or do we just need to wait for her to grow out of it.
Thanks in advance
