Hi,
DD has always been a decent sleeper (bar a couple of weeks unsettled around the 4 month mark). She turned 1 recently and for the last couple of weeks has been waking or calling out several times a night. We are getting really tired (she's still in our room). She takes a dummy to bed and goes to sleep easily. She also settles ON as soon as we give her the dummy but we're awake by then. We're working on the basis that if she was in her own room we would have to get up and go further anyway. A few times we have ended up bringing her into bed with us but we don't want it to turn into a habit. This does seem to settle her.
I would try just giving her a few dummies in her cot so she can find one but she seems to be 'scared' awake (bad dream? do babies dream at this stage?) and panic-stricken so she doesn't even look for the dummy herself, just waits to be rescued.
Any ideas?
