Hi
My 7 month old has suddenly gone right off any kind of pattern of sleep. She usually gets taken to bed anytime between 630/7 and she wakes up so many times before we go to bed, this past week she’s been so unsettled we’ve been up until 1030/11 with her. These particular nights she’s slept through until 8ish which she never does!
But we used to be able to put her down to sleep and we maybe would have one or two dummy runs and that would be it before we went to bed and then it would be a couple of feeds in the night which I could cope with as she fell right back to sleep.
Tonight it took until 1130 to settle her from a 830 wake up and I’ve been up twice to top up with bottle since, which is a particularly bad night with her. In the evenings when she wakes she is full of smiles and happy generally but she just won’t settle back down to sleep.
Her daytime naps are good generally, she has one morning for 1-130 hours and in the afternoon maybe 2 hours. But i don’t let her nap past 330 now as these were a couple of the bad nights when she napped later.
She is drooling so much and a bit more crabby when awake so I’m debating whether it’s just teething make her so unsettled, but would she be so happy when she’s awake during the evening? Or is it another phase?? Any suggestions would be lovely! Were tearing our hair out a bit as our evenings have become non existent, we’ve got a 2 year old also so crave this time when they’ve both gone to bed!! Thanks in advance x
