9month old suddenly not settling to sleep...help!!

[taly]

My 9 month DD has always taken 3 or 4 minutes to settle herself to sleep both for daytime naps and at night. In the last 2 weeks however, she has been protesting big time, and a few times I have resorted to cuddling her to sleep, something which I've always tried to avoid! She almost settles herself then jerks herself awake and screams blue murder! This can happen up to 10 times. Have tried staying with her and putting my hand on her chest, (which used to have an immediate effect), and today tried CC which took 30 mins! She's been such a good sleeper up til now...what's happening??!! No signs that she's teething as she's perfectly happy before she gets tired. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Taly

I am having the same touble. For the past month or so my 15 month old has not been sleeping through the night. I have tried not saying anything and putting him back in bed but he just screams so in the end I put him in my bed which is naughty but I need my sleep especially if I have to get up for work.

He used to be so good but since he has had his second bout of teething it has all gone to pot, so don't be alone I am in the same boat!

So, is there anyone out there that can help us frustrated mums?!! Thanks
