10 Month Old Waking up at Night

[niamh42]

My DD is almost 10 months old and after a long bout of illness's which caused a lot of sleepless nights (during these times we brought her into the bed with us so we could all get some sleep) she had finally started sleeping through the night again but in the last couple of weeks she has started to wake up at some stage in the night and refuses to go down to her cot again, we've tried being persistant and repeatedly getting her to sleep and trying to put her down but there's no way she will go to sleep unless its in our bed. Any advice on how to get her sleeping through the night again or is it just a phase she's going through?

Have a quick look at my threat about 11 month old waking. Someone has posted a really good link in it.

Similar position. Co slept with ds when he was poorly and I'm now unsure if the waking is due to fighting the cot, light mornings or just so exciting by crawling.

It has almost been impossible to put him down in cot. Put him down in our bed and then move him when asleep!!!

Good luck.

We co-slept so wasn't an issue they move into their own room when they were ready. Not sure how you'd deal with that without upsetting dc.
