1 year old not sleeping EVER

Tovalova · 24/10/2014 12:07

I'm losing my mind and hoping for some help. My 1 year old daughter doesn't nap during the day. I can see she's exhausted but desperately fights sleep. At night she won't sleep unless nursing/comfort sucking in be d with me which is so uncomfortable. She wakes constantly to nurse. I just need my bed back and some time out during the day to get stuff done.
I was sleep training her but then she got a really bad cough and cold which ruined it and now can't get it back. When I try and leave her she would t cm down and ends up throwing up and pooping and screaming u til she's hoarse. Looking for some advice please. Thanks

Hi Tovalova is your daughter now on cows milk? Our night time routine is (my daughter is a few weeks away from her first birthday) bath, story, then we sit in her room on the rocking chair with the lights out, she has 8oz of cows milk which makes her drowsy, once it's gone I cuddle her in with her teddy, usually after 10 mins she's almost asleep and I transfer her to her cot. This doesn't work every night but most nights it does. During the day she won't go near the cot, I normally put her in the pram at nap time and go for a walk usually after 20 mins she falls asleep and I either keep walking or turn back - on a nice day I leave her at the back door or bring the or am into the hall. It's as you say probably to do with her being unwell. Have you spoken to your health visitor or tried the gradual retreat method? Hope things improve.x

Tova has your dd ever been checked for tongue tie?

Are you at home with her tomorrow? Could you try giving her lunch, changing her, then a bf and then a long walk or a drive? Would that help her to sleep? Sometimes sleep can breed sleep and cracking the naps might work Smile

Have you tried your other half going in to her instead? (If you can get him on side) - and you need to sleep in another room.
My daughter was exactly the same until 13 months when I night weaned her and within 3 nights she slept 8 hours straight which she had never done previously in her life.
If you want me to pm you the whole approach I took let me know Smile

cake, please tell me what you did for nightweaning, did it really only take 3 nights?! my 13 month old gets up for bf every 2 hours all night, although has weaned himself off breastmilk the rest of the times.
