My LO turned 1 3 weeks ago, she's been a solid 12 hr a night sleep since about 4 months old.
Always took a full bottle at bed time and then slept through 7pm - 7am 95% of the time. Just before her 1st birthday she caught a nasty stomach bug and then after recovering from that caught a nasty virus which has taken her 3 weeks to just about recover from. In that time she lost her appetite and her usual sleep pattern went out the window due to congestion, pain, fever and hunger as she wasn't eating, not even drinking at some points. (We did take her to hospital where she was rehydrated) she's just recently started eating solids again and gone back to a 7pm bed time and sleeping in her own bed once taking her bed time bottle, only now she's waking up with intense screaming sometimes insatiable for milk or a cuddle and we're finding it increasingly harder to get her back to her own bed once she's woken up the first time. I'm up and down like a yo yo.
I'm struggling to understand if this is just par for thr course and she's still recovering from a bad illness, will settle back in time and get back on track or if this is a sleep regression and tbr night time hunger waking are a development milestone.
Help!? From a very tired mum.
