My daughter's sleep has been up and down. We had a really good stint where she slept straight through the night and occasionally she would wake once crying in the night for about a minute and then go back to sleep.
For the last few weeks she has been waking up approx 12am and is stood up in the cot really crying. I have tried stroking her back to sleep but when she goes quiet and still and I creep out the room she just revs up again. So I end up taking her in the spare bed with me and she pretty much goes straight back to sleep. I didn't really want her to get into the habit of getting into bed with me and now its 80% of the time rather than 20% of the time as it was a few months ago.
We were supposed to go away at the weekend to a gig and my parents were going to stop with her but Didn't go in the end as I didn't think it was fair on my parents. They looked after her in Nov when we went away for the night for my birthday and she woke up crying at 11pm and although my mom got her into her bed with her she didn't stop crying for four hours.
Has anyone else gone through this? Have you managed to get them out of it. Hubby thinks we should do cry it out until she cooks out but it's such a heart wrenching thing to do and so tiring on everyone but people say it's better for everyone in the long run. Any advice would be much appreciated.
