11 month old DS won't sleep at night after sleeping through.help

My DD is nearly 11 months old and for the first time last week,started sleeping through the night.

Hurrah I thought, a light at the end of a long sleep-deprived tunnel.

She goes down at 7ish with 4 yr old DS (sep room), wakes at 10.30 for a feed and wakes at 7am.

I should have held off on the celebrations because since Thurs night, she will not go down at 7pm and won't settle unless she sleeps on either my DH or me. She has gone from a great sleeper to a terrible one in the space of 3 nights.

I should add she naps twice a day with no problems. About 1hr in the morning and 1hr and a half in the afternoon.

DH and I are at loggerheads at what to do. I used CC with my DS and it worked a treat but he gives in too easily when she cries at goes to her, takes her out of the cot and we then end up having a huge row about it.

I can't think what on earth has changed. She has a cold but has had one since the autumn kicked in so can't see that that is the reason.

She has been in our bed for the past 3 nights just so we can get some sleep, which I shouldn't think is helping matters.

Any advice or anyone been through similar?

How close is she to walking?

This happened to me with my 10 month old DS. Slept 7-7 for three weeks in Jan. Not a peep out of him. He even slept through the norovirus.

I thought the same as you but also celebrated too quickly. For no reason that I can fathom he woke at 1am & would not go back to sleep until 5-6am three nights on the trot. His sleep has gone to total shit since, naps included.

DH & I have also argued a lot over how to handle it. I'm exhausted and wanted to co-sleep for ease. DH wanted to sleep train, which he's doing.

I think us farting around arguing night after night delaying have a plan made it worse tbh.
