Hi there I’m looking for advice about my daughter’s sleep/waking pattern. She’s is 14 months old and by all means she is not the worst sleeper now (she has had her moments) . She usually goes down about 7pm in her cot on her own, which she has done from 9 months old. She never totally sleeps through, can sometimes be unsettled through the night and still have an early morning bottle of milk, which then usually gives us another hour or so sleep.
The problem has become the early morning bottle getting earlier and earlier and then 5 am starts 😴, which result in her becoming tired and grumpy earlier in the evening. I relented last night and put her to bed at 6.30pm, as I read that it can be more beneficial to put them to bed earlier and help them sleep longer. However today we started the day at 4 am 😩
The times when Iv kept her up later, in hope of a ‘lie in’ has made it difficult for her to go done because she’s overtired and caused her to be extra unsettled through the night.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this ?
I know this doesn’t seem like the worst situation but after 14 months of it, I’m really struggling now 😔
