Any ideas at all . . please help!
My 20 week old daughter has always been an amazing sleeper - since 6 weeks old, she sleeps from 7.30pm - 8.30 am. Had some issues with daytimes naps - now sorted.
We flew to Australia five days ago as I wanted her to meet my grandma before my grandma isn't around anymore and, well, we're now in a world of hell!!
I know she must be jet lagged, I know it's new surroundings for her, but she is sleeping for no more than 90 mins at a time - then wakes up screaming, screaming. I am actually losing my mind . . . .
In the day she is fine - laughing, playing, (she won't sleep) totally herself, then it gets to night and she goes down as normal, after a big long feed and then 90 mins later she's awake - screaming. It takes two hours (maybe more) to get her back to sleep (with more feeding)- she then does it all over again. I sat on the sofa last night from 2.30 - 8am, just saying shush shush. (she had been asleep 7pm - 8.30pm, then 10pm - 11.30, then awake til 1.30am, then slept til 2.30 am)
She must be over-tired, tried agnoring her, but she screamed for 40 mins - so I couodn't take it anymore,
I lknow we have screwed with her clock - but the fact is we're here now, so need to try and deal with this - tried medi-sed and gripe water in case she had wind - and no sign of temperature
actually going mad . . . no idea what to do . . . sob . . . help!!
