Hi,
My daughter is just over 15 months old she only has 4 teeth, 2 big top and 2 on the bottom.
Her sleep is anywhere from good to horrific. Before I try the CIO, I'd just like some opinions on what is going on.
She can sleep through and does so once in a blue moon. Sometimes she wakes once, mostly she wakes twice, sometimes 3 or 4 times. The actual time she wakes completely varies. No regular waking - just random.
I use bottle to sleep, but most of the time she finishes her bottle chats away to herself or kicks the cot then falls asleep. She has a chicco bear that she plays with and falls asleep with too.
I tried cuddling in the night, or bringing her into my bed but she just thinks it's a party, so I now give her a little bit of milk in a bottle (4-5oz) and leave her to it. That works every time.
I thought maybe she was attached to the bottle as a sleep aid, but she can easily fall asleep without it at nap and bedtime. I just use it at night so I can go back to bed. It's frustrating because there is no routine to her nightwakings, so my only thought is she is struggling with her teeth, but does that really go on for weeks and months? She has granules and calpol if I think she's that bad.
Her big bro slept through from 12 months and he sleeps great.
She dropped her second nap around 12 months so it's not a nap transition.
Any suggestions?!
Thank you 🙏
