11 month old screaming at night

[CuriousOhCurious]

Hiya,
I need help. I’m honestly at my wits end!
my 11th month old has recently started screaming ALLLLLL night!
nothing settles her, she’s obviously clean, bottle, she has her dummy, there’s literally nothing else I can do. She doesn’t want cuddling but she doesn’t want putting down.
it’s causing a lot of stress, friction and snapping between me and my partner with the lack of sleep.
i had to take her for a drive to get her to sleep at 1am yesterday morning and slept in the car with her as I dreaded taking her out incase she woke up and started screaming again.
she’s absolutely fine throughout the day.
please help one very tired and lost mum.

I have no solution to this however my 11month old has also started this recently. He had been sleeping pretty well and the night feed had stopped but in the last week or two there are nights he wakes up around 1am and just screams and screams.

A bottle usually helps but not always and sometimes the screaming restarts after he has fed. I suspect he is overtired but I am struggling to find the sweet spot for daytime sleep. He is also fighting his naps and today I had to take him out in the car to sleep as he was clearly exhausted by 10am but was fighting it and inconsolable. He seems well otherwise, teething is ongoing but none appear to be cutting through at the moment and he is eating solids well.

It is so hard going and my DH is working away just now so I’m feeling exhausted and dreading the possibility of another wakeful night. Sorry that isn’t helpful other than maybe it’s a phase at this time of developing?

That sounds so incredibly tough OP. Have you tried Ibruprofen in case it's her teeth nothing her?

@Whateveryouwish sorry to hear your in the same position. Honestly knowing I’m not the only one does help, my daughter is the same a bottle will calm her for a bit but she’s not interested. Mine is honestly fine during the day apart from a bit of whinging but I believe it might be her teeth coming. She’s only got two at the minute but at this rate I’m expecting to wake up and her have a full set 😂

@CadyEastman it definitely is. I’ve just got hold of some teething gel and calpol seemed to help once it kicked in last night. I believe it’s her teething it’s just so exhausting! My first daughter was so easy, Mother Nature tricked me in to having another and I’ve got my penance 😂😂

Ibruprofen is much better for dental pain. If you haven't got any I'd try to get hold of some before the ships close today. You should have time to get 2 doses into her before bedtime
