DD used to sleep 7.30pm-5.30am from 9 weeks, at about 20 weeks she started waking about 2am but a little drink of milk and she would resettle quite quickly. Now she is 9.5 months, teething, but her sleep is all over the place. She isn't settling at bed time, which has slipped to nearer half 8, nothing changed in her routine, and she wakes up between 11&12 or between 2-3, all upset and is only settling when she comes into bed with me. I'm trying not to give her milk in the night as i don't want this to become a habit so I offer water which more often than not she pushes away. We had a weeks holiday 2 weeks ago and she slept well, she was out in the fresh air all day, but now we are back home she's waking up at all hours again, which she was before we went away.
I really need to sort her sleep out as I'm back to work next week. We've tried leaving her to cry or just going and sitting in her room and patting/sushing her but after an hour of crying and being sleep deprived give in and settle her either in our bed or i go into her room which also has a bed. Even when being cuddled back to sleep she is crying with tears although still asleep. Her top two teeth are coming through, is it likely to be this or something else.
She generally has an hour nap in the morn and afternoon. Any ideas?
