Hello, hopefully someone can offer some advice to a very tired mum and toddler!
DD was never a great sleeper, but thankfully was sleeping through the night almost all the time from about 9 months, and we had a blissful 3 months of sleep. Then shortly after her first birthday we moved house and she stopped sleeping through the night. We are lucky if she sleeps through once in a week.
I chalked it up to a sleep regression and disruption from the move and hoped things would get better as I know she CAN do it. But it's now 8 weeks since we moved, she's 14 months, and she's still waking in the night, sometimes taking up to 2 hours for me to settle her back to sleep.
We've had some bad luck with illnesses and obviously a massive change for her, but I'm now wondering if it's time to take action - does anyone have success with sleep training a 14 month old?
Her wakes are very inconsistent, sometimes midnight, sometimes 4.30, sometimes she'll go back to sleep for hours, sometimes a 4.30 wake means that's it for the day. Sometimes she's up for hours, sometimes just 20 minutes.
We almost never give her milk at night, and i've been trying to just rub her back to sleep rather than rock her as much as possible. I'm in a bad habit of not letting her settle herself to sleep at bedtime, even though she always used to settle herself from about 7 months.
TIA
