Please tell me it will pass...

My dd is 18 1/2 months and has always napped and slept well. She normally sleeps 2 to 2.5 hours from 11 or 11.30 and goes down at 7.30/8. Then on Tuesday she refused the nap screaming. I took her for a short walk and transferred fine - rest of week was normal until yesterday. Same thing with the nap and then bed time but walk didn't work - she ended up with us and eventually fell asleep about 10!
Today she went down for nap but not without some screaming and now she is wide awake 1 bedtime having been a disaster.

She is teething but not acting in pain, but she is clingy as anything.

I can't cope with sleep issues :(

Hope your managing to survive on the sleep your getting. I unfortunately can't offer much advise but thought I'd offer my hand to hold

18 month sleep regression? Could be. Or could be teething. Either way, as much as it sucks now (trust me I know, DD didn't sleep through till 12mo) it will pass.

Hmmn my DS did this. It's ended now at 21 months. I'm sorry OP

Thanks all; she dropped off just before 10 and ice just transferred her.

I feel like absolute poo about it tho, it's the one thing I domf seem able to cheerfully accept and deal with. I woke from home (and post childrens Easter party home looks like carnage as we couldn't clear up) so no nap no
Work / money.

I'm debating taking the side off her cot bed to see if it makes a difference tomorrow.

We had this with DS around that age, after a couple of weeks of every bedtime being a screamfest we went out for dinner one evening and left him with Grandad. Dont know what Grandad did but it broke the cycle and he was fine until just after his 2nd birthday.

I would say dont take the side off the cot, it'll only give her more freedom to move to the doorway and scream (current problem we're having with DS at 2.5yo).

It will pass, just dont know when.
