Hi everyone
I know I've been on here before but I'm now at my wits end and need some advice and or help. Please
My little girl has never been a great sleeper. Well, she was until 5 months and then it all fell apart. We've hit some good spots between then and now and recently she was only waking 1 or 2 times a night for a few mins and straight back
However in the past 2 weeks she's fallen apart. She goes to bed 4/4.5 hours after her 2nd nap and will always sleep soundly for 5 hours. SOUNDLY!. then come 1am ISH she will start to stir. Lately she's twitching and tossing and turning so much in her sleep, it causes her to sit up and then she's awake.
I try settling her in her cot, then if that fails, lift her out to soothe her. Then if all else fails, into my bed.
Here's the thing, my bed doesn't seem to settle her much , it just stops the sitting up. But she will continue to roll and toss and turn, raise her legs, raise her arms , up on all fours ..... ALL NIGHT LONG. Sometimes she passes some wind.
I am worried it's her tummy and the food I'm giving her (I made everything myself , veggies and fritters, sweet potatoes , porridge etc etc)
Has anyone else gone through this?
Note ; we've sleep trained in the past and she absolutely fell apart. It set us back months and she developed reflux out of distress from crying so I'm not willing to give that a go again.
Please help me, I'm back to work in 4 weeks and no way can I function like this long term
