My 9 mo was ill for a couple of weeks, now better but is teething badly. At 7.30pm she'd usually go to sleep fine and wake up for one or two breastfeeds during the night before this but now it's taking near on 3 hours (5 hours sometimes 6 hours after she woke up after her last nap) to get her to sleep.
Me and DH are at our wits end. She's not a self soother yet, she requires rocking, held and walked around or breastfeeding. I try bf again, rocking her, singing, patting, etc. Then after 30 mins, DH will try walking, shushing or patting. No joy she comes back and I try again. I'm concerned this is confusing her more but we haven't had this issue in so long, I don't know. Sometimes she will get to sleep at 11pm, a couple of nights 12am and then she'll wake up at 6! When she does go to sleep, she's waking up more often for feeds and I'm exhausted in the morning.
I'm wondering if it's the combination of disrupted sleep for medication whilst being ill, growth spurt, learning new skills (crawling, cruising, standing up, first words, etc.) and teeth all in one, I'm desperate to get this sleep sorted though!
I am throwing the line out for all MNetters, I need your help!!
