Hi all, looking for advice!
My 10 month old DD has begun waking in the middle of the night. She was previously a good sleeper and would easily go from 8:30pm - 7am with no problems.
She recently began getting 4 more teeth, 2 of which have come through the gum and the other 2 on the cusp.
During her teething, she would wake up at about 1/2am, screeching to high heaven and was inconsolable until we offered Calpol and a bottle. No amount of rocking/other soothing would help!
She then seemed to go back to normal, stirring just few times in the night (to find her dummy) and would get herself back off to sleep.
However the past few nights, she has been waking in the night again and won’t go back to sleep unless we feed and rock her, which can take up to 2 hours. I should point out though that she only wakes once and once back asleep, she will go through til 7-8am.
She is perfectly happy during the day and usually takes a 1 - 2 hour mid-morning nap and a shorter afternoon nap, however her afternoon sleep has also changed and is now often much shorter.
She has recently learned how to pull herself up to (almost) standing and I wonder if this may have something to do with it?
Any advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated, as I go back to work tomorrow!
