I think I’m hoping for any tips or solidarity or both with this thread!
DD is 18 months and for the past week and a half has been waking up every 30mins to an hour continuously through the night. We’re barely getting a chance to sleep in between her waking up and I’d be surprised if she’s getting much of a sleep either.
She’s my third (DS1 and DS2 didn’t go through this to this extent so this is new to me). Up until this point she was an average to good sleeper - she’s slept through the night since about 12 months from 6.30 to 5.30/6.
Our approach has been the same as usual - give her a chance to have some sips of water if it’s been a few hours, lay her down in her cot (she’s always standing up crying when we go in) without any chat, say ‘time to sleep’ and leave the room. She invariably is quiet and happy when we leave but then 20mins or so later, juuuuust as we’re drifting back to sleep, she starts all over again. She has a little light projector that is quite dim and projects stars onto her ceiling. She isn’t cold or too hot. She isn’t in pain. She’s got most of her teeth so don’t think it’s extreme teething. She goes down for her nap after lunch like a dream. At the moment she goes down for her bedtime sleep in the evening happily too at 6.30. It’s just the nights that are a complete nightmare.
Can anyone identify or offer reassurance it will end and not too long away (hopefully)?!
