My 8 month old daughter won't nap through the day or sleep for longer than 4 hours on a night! Through the day she will fight and throw her self about if I try get her to sleep on my knee, if I lay her in her cot she suddenly becomes wide awake again the only way she'll go to sleep is if I take her on a walk in her pram.
On a night she's had the same routine since she was 3 month old, until 2 week ago, when I brought her bedtime forward from 9 to 7-8 since then when the new routine didn't work I've had no choice but to try go back her original routine but that's where it's all hit the fan. She will not sleep in her cot in her own room (which she's been in since she was 6month) as soon as I lay her down she cries hysterically to where she can't catch her breath, I've resulted in moving her back into our bedroom and she's seemed to settle a lot better but only if I sing to her. The real problem is that up until 2 week ago she's slept through and now she's woken up between 1-3am every night without failing screaming, there is no way to settle her on her own she has to be in our bed to go back to sleep and as soon as I go to pick her up and put her back in her cot she instantly wakes up!
Please help anyone I'm exhausted :(
