Our DD (14.5mths) has always been a good sleeper, give or take the odd blip when teething etc. But for the last three nights she has been really tricky to settle and after experimenting with getting her up, cuddling / reading bedtime story again / calpol (in case she was feeling poorly), we eventually went for leaving her to it, which did work in the end. Yesterday it took quite a while (30mins) but after she'd settled for about 30mins I checked on her to find she'd fallen asleep sitting up but with her face basically in her lap!! I 'unfolded' her and lay her down, and she then slept through the night (...well until 5.30am).
Tonight, it took far less whingeing for her to get off, so we thought she'd sorted herself out, but after checking her just now, she'd clearly done the same thing! Again, I have put her straight and she will hopefully be OK now.
Question is - is this normal?! How do we get her to fall asleep lying down, as she always used to, with no complaint?
It just looks so uncomfortable - my back would be killing me if I fell asleep in that position!!
