Hi First time posting but been searching mumsnet for some time to get help and guidance so thank you all for helping me. But it’s come to a time I need to ask for specific help and get your answers.
My little girl is 13 months since the clocks went back in October she just will not settle she used to sleep 6.30/7 till 6am we did move house in that time but the first few nights she settled in her own room. She then started teething and the one year sleep regression if she goes to sleep at 6.30/7 she now wakes up at 1/2am for 3 hours talking and lying there then crying and refusing to sleep the last hour whatever I try she will not go back to sleep until the 3 hours.
I then started trying to put her to bed later she started to go to sleep at 9/9.30pm and sleeps through till 7.30 but I feel that it’s too late? Even then its a battle to get her to sleep. I’ve tried control crying she gets hysterical of course I don’t leave her I’ve tried the put down method and as soon as I leave she screams.
I’ve fallen into the trap of her sleeping in my room since she’s been in here it’s the only way she has slept through the night. In her room I have to sit there until she falls asleep and like I said earlier she wakes up in her cot and won’t sleep for 3 hours.
She can literally be on the brink of falling asleep then she will talk or shout to wake herself up until she’s so tried she’s crying and then falls asleep on me.
It’s getting me so down she’s awake from 7.30am she has one nap per day as she will not go down for another that nap varies from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours 11.30am until 1pm she goes to sleep anytime between then. I feel like I have no time to myself I don’t have anyone to ask for advice as my mother died I haven’t had a night away from her since she was born just feel like I’ve done it all wrong. Help
