My 9 month old, turning 10 months in just over a week has always slept well from 3 months old other than the occasional stir here and there, especially if she doesn’t have her dummy, but generally she is a really good sleeper, however the last 2 weeks have been rough, might even be coming up to 3 weeks now but regardless it feels like a life time! Religiously every single night she is waking up at midnight crying, but this horrible cry like she is in distress almost. It literally is the same time every night which is what I find the craziest, but it’s to the point I am actually waiting until 12 now expecting it and it does happen. Last night I ended up having to put her in bed with me and took her about an hour to get her to sleep. As soon as she is picked up she is fine and when she come to bed with me she was as happy as Larry and I think was too nosey to go straight back to sleep. Some nights has resulted in her having a bottle and some nights we are lucky enough that after 15 minutes or so she goes back to sleep.
Any ideas what this could be!? She has already cut down from 2 naps to 1, which isn’t ideal given her age but she was just refusing an afternoon nap so now’s she naps 10-1 and goes to bed at around 7pm.
if anyone could give any suggestions I will be so grateful as being back at work full time, having a baby and a 3 year old with very little sleep is a rough ride! Thanks x
