DD2 cosleeps from around 10.30pm, (not ideal but it is what it is) she goes to bed in her cot fine at 7.30 but wakes again an hour to hour & half later, crying, screaming slamming her arms. I try & comfort her by sitting next to her, gentle patting her etc. If she’s lost her dummy I will pop it back in but she just will not settle. I then get her out for a cuddle, she then falls back to sleep but when I try to put her down she then screams the house down again. She gets herself in such a state. She’s only started doing this crying, screaming past few weeks & i’m not sure why. So now basically I spend most of my evenings with her snuggled into me on my lap downstairs. I’m due back to work in 2 weeks & I really could be doing without this.
I should of said above she’s always woken not long after being put down at 7.30 but popping her dummy in would usually do the trick.
I can’t let her cry because I have another DD & she isn’t the greatest of sleepers as it is so I don’t want to wake her. Not sure what I should do next? Any advice?
