Our 11month old DD2 had a great sleeping pattern and has had isince about 4 months old where she would go to sleep about 6pm and wake up at 6/7am. The reason for going to bed so early is because she is sooooo grumpy at about 6pm it is difficult to get her to stay up any later. She also has a mid morning and mid afternoon nap.
She has a bottle when she wakes up, then porridge, mid morning bottle (then nap), then lunch, then afternoon bottle (then nap), then dinner and then bottle before bed.
In the past couple of weeks she has started waking up at about 3am, not crying but making a constant annoying "aaaaaaah" noise which is just not able to be ignored and carry on sleeping. So after a couple of times going in and laying her back down and her doing it again within a couple of minutes, we have started to change her and give her another bottle and after a little bit more messing about she will go back to sleep until about 7am.
Our DD1 is 5, so it has been a while since we were at this age stage so cant quite remember what it was like.
She is reaching some milestones at the moment i.e. approaching 1 years old, cutting more teeth and she is on the brink of being able to walk (she is taking a few steps unaided) so I wasnt sure if these things are factoring in the restless night?
As I say, she isnt waking up crying - some nights it is laughing (which is creepy) but most nights it is "aaaaaaaaaah, aaaaaaaaaah" on a constant irritating loop.
I thought I would try and get her to go to bed a bit later and see if that made a difference and yesterday she didnt go to bed until 7.30pm (instead of 6pm) and strangely the little terror woke up at 1.30am (instead of 3am) so was actually worse!
Any advice would be greatly received as we are feeling rather tired.
Thanks
