Ok, as the title says, I know it is a stupid question - but I really don't know what else could be wrong with DD. She is now 11 months old and has never been a great sleeper but things have got steadily worse over the last few months. She regularly wakes in the night and is then awake for usually around 2 hours at a time. I have tried ruling out all the usual suspects, teething, hunger, cold etc and she is still awake. I know she is tired, she is yawning and rubbing her eyes, and she is not trying to get up and certainly doesn't want to play.
If I leave her in her cot she will cry but if I pick her up she doesn't sleep but will lie in my arms quietly. The past couple of nights I have brought her into bed with me thinking this would settle her but it doesn't. It is as if she really wants to sleep but can't get comfy so rolls around and shifts position. Last night this went on from 2am till 4am, the night before from 3am till 5am. It isn't every night but it is every week and sometimes up to 5 nights. I am struggling by on less than 4 hours broken sleep a night (also have DS 4 who has nightmares most nights) and am running out of ideas!
Does anyone have any clue?? Please??
