I was wondering if there's some sort of sleep regression that happens about now?
My already incredibly poor sleeper has got even worse.
In fact she's never really got over the last sleep regression.
She only took 1 50minute nap yesterday, went to bed at 7 (we put her down awake, she settles herself, we go in at intervals if she's upset and calm her before putting her back in her cot) and she was up at 12, drained a 8 oz bottle (this doesn't happen every night but she was certainly hungry!) and then woke up at 3, refused to go back to sleep and had since had a 30 minute nap.
What are we doing wrong?
We make sure she is settling herself, sure she isn't happy about it but we don't leave her to cry for prolonged periods of time. She has most certainly got a whole lot worse since we after Christmas (this whole thing started whilst we were in our Xmas holiday) and I can't help but feel I've exhausted my options other than ear defenders for the rest of the family.
Any tips? Am I alone in this prolonged sleep deprivation?
