One year old suddenly waking up in the night again

[CobaltRose96]

Hi all. DD is 13 months old and hasn’t woken in the night for a feed since she was was 6/7 months old. She goes to bed at 7pm no problem and will sleep until 6:30/7am. Normally...

However, the past couple of nights she has woken up screaming at 4am and only a bottle has settled her. Thankfully this morning she went back to sleep after her bottle, but the night before she didn’t and refused to go back to sleep (screamed whenever I put her down) so we were up for the day at 4:30am!

She has got two teeth coming through currently and with the warmer weather perhaps she’s waking up thirsty? I don’t know, but I don’t want to keep giving her a bottle in case she makes a habit of it and starts waking every night!

Any ideas why she’s doing this and what I can do to stop it?

Thanks

Does she have a dummy? Might just be that the sucking on the bottle helped, not actually the milk?

If it's teeth, probably just ride it out really! Or a bit of calpol if she seems in pain?

Same here!! It settled down after a couple of weeks though and last night he did 22hrs straight (never done that before in his life).

Our baba has really come on with standing/surfing in the last few weeks. Think it's a dev leap - Also someone mentioned 12m sleep regression!

Hope urs settles soon!!!

We went through something similar. I think it was a combination of teeth and a leap.

@Livingoffcoffee (like the name ), no, she’s never had a dummy (doesn’t like them).

@NChangeForNoReason, could be! She’s already been walking for a couple of months but I’ve noticed her talking/babbling is coming on leaps and bounds over the past few weeks.

@CobaltRose96 I've got a 14mo...coffee is life even when he is sleeping!

Could very well be a leap, they're learning so much at this age!
