DD2 has been my good sleeper from about 10 weeks, 7 till 7, sleeps anywhere, will lie in if tired etc. She is the polar opposite of DD1 who taught us all we might ever need to know about sleep deprivation and helped us eArn our non-sleeper stripes!
So what on earth is going on? For the last 2-3 weeks, DD2 She hasbeen waking up between 1-2 and screaming. She was unsettled a bit, then we went away for a week in a caravan when the waking started for good and had to go to her and soothe her more quickly than usual. She slept with us for a large proportin of the nights. Now we are home and it feels likeit may have become a habit for her. From about 2 she s reams. She won't be consoled. Has a dummy but that doesn't work. Tried milk last night, she drunk most of the bottle then screamed. The only thing that stops thescreamingis picking her up then as soon as is putdown it starts once more. She has slept in our bed a few timesthis week because frankly we need some sleep and she happily drops off and sleeps soundly, but I don't want to getinto this as a habit - maybe it is already?! I need her to be able to and be happy sleeping in her own bed again!
Help, tell me how to get my sleeper back!

How old is she now Tobermory?

O yes, I should have included that key info. She's 11 months, crawling like crazy, pulling herself up on everything - how can she bit be shattered?!

Well all that developmental stuff could explain the wakings- sounds like she's having to think about crawling and pulling herself up and her brain is overloaded by all this info.

Can't offer any suggestions what to do I'm afraid as I'm in a similar boat with 18mo. Hope others are along soon.

Should read "how can she NOT be shattered?"

Me too badger! Thanks for your thoughts.
