Ok I've read a fair few books now, web pages etc. They all talk about babies that wake in the night crying and how to manage the situation. A couple have mentioned that their techniques may not work on babies that don't cry so I'm looking to the wise Mnetters for advice.
My DD is 9 months and wakes 1-2 times a night. When she wakes up she is high as a kite. Cheerful shrieking, chattering, laughing, wriggling the lot. She grabs her toys in her cot and cheerfully chats away to them.
Generally I give her a bottle as I find the milk tends to make her drowsy and means she is more likely to fall asleep again within 20 minutes.
I've tried leaving her but have caved every time at about 45 minutes because she is still showing no signs of going back to sleep and is still high as a kite.
So folks what can I do? Has anyone else had a cheerful night time screecher? Did they grow out of it? Did you manage to sleep train them?
