DD is 15mo and has been sleeping really well for a while now.
However, she was recently ill and is now completely incapable of settling for a nap or sleeping through. The nap thing I can deal with and just take her for a drive, but she's waking up at about 12/1ish, screaming but with nothing wrong. She has been teething a bit but I've kept her dosed up with calpol.
She just seems wide awake and there's nothing I can do. I've been getting her into bed with me where she's eventually fallen asleep. Last night I tried lying on the floor next to her cot and stroking her. She calmed for a while but then just kept getting frustrated and standing or sitting up. She generally stays awake for at least an hour and a half.
I really want her to stop thinking she can come into my bed every night. It seems like she's waking out of habit. The problem is that if I leave her she just bellows and the only way to stop her is with a dummy (another new habit that I need to break) in my bed.
Any amazing tips that will work straight away?!
