My 9 month old is fighting sleep and I can only get her to sleep by rocking her and putting her down asleep. When I have tried to put her down awake she stands up in her cot and cries, working herself up so much that she hyperventilates. I then end up rocking her to calm her down and eventually she goes to sleep. Unfortunately she is also waking up in the night. I have been so tired that I resorted to bringing her in to bed with me. However, this is cramped and I still don't sleep well. My husband helped last night by putting her back to sleep, but she woke 3 times and only settled herself the last time crying.
What do I do?
