Hi all,
Praying for some advice, we're at our wits end.
Our 10 month old is a very jolly baby but has always been rubbish at sleeping and has never slept through. Lately she's started waking about every half hour in her cot and immediately howling at force 10. We can get her back to sleep, sometimes patting her in her cot, sometimes rocking her back to sleep but it never lasts long before she's awake again. Usually by about 2am we're worn out and she comes into bed with me, where we'll get longer spells of 2-3 hours between wake ups. Is this separation anxiety? Is there anything I can do to help? I dont mind cosleeping for now but it's becoming a bit of a habit and it's not something I can continue when I'm back at work. She's not night weaned but only has one bf through the night and I'm happy with that.
I've got her on a loose routine and she has a couple of naps a day: I feed her to sleep for a morning nap (she's bf) and she usually has a second in her buggy or rocked to sleep. I have had some minor success putting her down awake at night, putting her down awake at nap time has never worked, she gets so wound up she ends up not having a nap..
Thanks for reading
