Turning to the Internet to try and get answers for my 10 month old's horrendous sleep regression/ habbit
10 months old, has been breastfed until now with EBM in bottles occasionally. I'm going back to work in 2 weeks full time doing 13 hr days/ nights.
Her routine was go to bed between 7pm-8pm with well established routine of playlist, bath, pjs, bottle/ breast.
She now is most often refusing milk at bedtime, screams for the entire bedtime routine including bath, getting changed etc and will scream herself to sleep in cot. This is not the challenging bit though, so for about 3 weeks now she's been having a period in the night where she just SCREAMS for 2-3 hours. Sometimes it's bedtime but most often is about 2am. NOTHING will settle her other than taking her downstairs to play, no milk, nappy, not too hot/ cold, doesn't want to cuddle. And this is happening every single night. 2-3 hours of screaming unless we take her to play, and I've tried just leaving her but she'll scream in her cot for these hours. She's VERY stubborn and has never been a good sleeper. Never slept through the night.she has a dummy in her cot which she'll sometimes take and a little jelly cat bunny which she loves.
She's always been a fussy baby. Screams a lot, hates the car and pram etc and is very sociable.
I'm just looking for any suggestions, stories, genius thoughts that might help me though this stage?
Usually has 1-2 hours of sleep during the day and eats 3 reasonable meals a day and drinks lots of water. She has milk and soya allergy (under dietician). Not constipated.
It's been happening since she had Roseola a few weeks ago and had lots of fevers/ rash.
Sorry for embarrassingly long post but I'm pulling out my hair and wondering how I'll survive when i got back to work
