my 16 month old was a good sleeper until around 7/8 months, but ever since she is an horrendous sleeper! she wakes several times a night, sometimes a cuddle and a reassuring voice settles her fairly quickly, yet on other occasions, which are more frequent than not, she will become inconsolable and just scream. Last night she was awake for just over 3 hours in a constant state of distressed screaming and nothing, I mean NOTHING made a difference.
I work full time and have a 5yo and after 7 months it is taking its toll. I am tired and grumpy and hate this constant state/mood. I am open to suggestions, she has a good bedtime routine and has no trouble falling asleep at bed time, but the episodes start around 2-3 hours after she goes to bed.
