My 11mo DD was FINALLY settling herself and sleeping through (7pm to 5am but still pretty great for her). It lasted about... ummm... 4 days.
Now (and for the past week) she REFUSES to go to sleep at bedtime. She just lays there laughing to herself. Proper belly laughing, squealing, giggling, excited shouting. It's been going on for 2 hours now. Last night she was up 11pm to 3am and we are knackered (both working FT) so planned an early night but she just won't sleep.
We are trying Controlled Crying tonight (or Controlled Laughing in our case) but getting nowhere.
We try to give her routine but she's just not in one, I don't get it.
She MUST be tired. At 7pm she looked ready to drop. We asked CM to limit naps etc which she has. I don't know what to do! She's squealing her head off in her cot. Shall we persevere with CC. Is this normal, to laugh like a maniac for hours on end?? Is it regression or what?
