Are friends just humouring me saying "its a phase"

[Nicolaplus1]

My dd is just 1 and in the last week has turned into a nitemare all of a sudden she is really clingy and mardy and is waking all the time, she has spent the last few night in our bed tut tut i hear you say lol
I know but i have to be at work and sleep calls

I am at the end of my tether with it all and just dont know what to do, i have a few weeks off work over xmas and intend to crack this sleep problem so any tips or advice would be more than welcome

Is she walking?
I only ask because we had a very similar week before ds (12 and half months) started walking.
Now he is toddling about with huge grin - a different chap altogether.
I did wonder what was going on - night waking, constant feeding, generally grumpy, clingy. It was just a phase (until the next one... )

My DS's sleep went haywire at one

think it is a developmental thing

so, yes, just a phase!

i have survived 13 years of child rearing believing 'Its just a phase'.

It is , honestly

Is she cold? Put a jumper over her pjs.

Is she hungry, perhaps a growth spurt, energy use? Give her a bottle of warm milk and settle her back again after.
Or give her some cereal before bed. I did, it worked a treat with all of mine.

If all else fails, bring her into your bed. Its no big deal.
Honestly, you will break the habit before she is 14yrs.

These answers are brill, yes she is walking just actually over the last week to 10 days!!

Any tips to get her baqck in the cot?????
