We have struggled with dd1's sleep since she was born. Even as a baby, she rarely slept through. She is now 2y8mo, and has been sleeping through from around 14mo, but recently she has started to wake again.
It's a struggle every night to put her to bed, and last night we thought we cracked it. We took dd to a farm not far from us, and we walked there, then around the farm, to the local shops, and then home.
When it came to dinner, she picked at it, and then became inconsolable with crying, just sobbing, and sobbing :(
I thought, that's it, quick bath, bed. She sobbed through bath, and brushing her teeth, and then she got into bed, and was falling asleep on the pillow. This is very rare, infact has never happened, so was pleased as punch, as she fell asleep in the middle of me telling her a story.
I was pleased too soon, as she kept waking every half hour, and then through the night.
We have tried keeping the naps, and they weren't working as she wasn't tired, and we're now doing no naps, and she's wrecked, but still wakes.
any advice please, as I'm wrecked with waking, and also have an 11mo to look after (she sleeps).
We do lots of activities during the week. She goes nursery twice a week, swimming, and toddler gym, and the park when we can fit it in. So no lack of activities.
