I have a beautiful baby girl who is generally very happy and content. she is ahead of all her milestones and is perfect in every way, she eats well (solid food) we did baby led weaning and she only has a bottle before going to bed then one during the night.
during the day she naps twice, 1 hour in the morning and 1.5 hours in the afternoon, although it can be more or less from day to day.
The problem is nights, when she was six months she slept through for a few months, then there was teathing slowely she ended up in our bed and now she sleeps with us, waking 6-10 times a night, im 3 monts pregnant and im exhausted.
last night i was so tired i decided to try to let her cio but that back fired and i ended up with an inconsoulable little girl for half an hour. ive never let her cry for so long (15 minutes) it just made her worse, she was hysterical.
she wont sleep in my arms as i tought her to sleep in her cot from a young age, but now she is unhappy there too as she got to used to sleeping in my bed. putting her to sleep is not the problem, she will fall alsleep very easly after she has drank a bottle of milk and is handed her comforter and dummy, the problem is keeping her asleep!
help, any ideas or advice its bad for me, my husband and her as we are all so tired. we have to wake her at 7am as she goes to nursery and she is exhausted when we wake her becuase she has been awake so much through the night.
im open for any suggestions.
thanks for reading. a very tired mummy
