Am at my wits end. Had 1 year old DD in a brilliant routine, down for first nap at 9am (for about an hour) and second at around 1-2pm for a couple of hours. However, since she learnt to stand in her cot a few weeks ago she will not sleep. She hasn't learnt to get down so will stand up and babble, then cry, then absolutely scream the place down. If I lie her down every time she gets up, she goes into meltdown. If I leave her she goes into meltdown. I was told sleeping bags would stop her from standing up, not my DD! The only hope I have of getting her to sleep is to breastfeed her to sleep, even then that can take up to 45 minutes and only works about half the time. Some days I have spent 2 hours trying to get her to sleep, by which point I just give up. She isn't ready to go to 1 nap yet as she is absolutely exhausted looking when she has skipped either nap.
I feel awful just leaving her in there and letting her scream but nothing else has worked. I really don't want to continue BF'ing her to sleep as I was hoping to stop soon.
