Almost 1yr old daughter suddenly won’t sleep at night :(

[Mooxxx]

Our DD is almost 1 year old and has always been a relatively good sleeper, naps and at night. Recently however night time has become so incredibly tough. At the start, she would take a little while to settle (around 7-8pm) but with both I or my partner there to soothe she eventually did settle and would sleep until around 5am (amazing)! Recently though, she goes down around 6.30pm - 7pm, sleeps for 2-3 hours then wakes and screams bloody murder. No matter how much we try to soothe her, she pushes our hands away and doesn’t stop crying - in the beginning we got into the habit of letting her sleep beside us but it went from sleeping through the night in our bed to kicking, slapping and pulling our hair all night long!! So obviously we wanted her back in her own bed… now, like I say, when she goes down, she sleeps for a couple hours then is up screaming and crying. Settle for a little bit, up and crying - more or less the whole night. Is this just sleep regression or are we doing something wrong? She’s a good eater and has 3 meals a day. She naps in the morning and afternoon totalling 2-2.5 hours… we are really at our wits end especially as we both work and are getting very very little sleep. Any/all suggestions welcome 🙏🏽

Teething?

Calpol and teetha

We don’t think so but certainly have tried calpol or teething powder/gel before just in case but hasn’t seemed to make a difference!

She couldn't have an ear infection could she? My DD sleeps like this or worse when she has an ear infection (something she is unfortunately prone to).

I think you need to rule out whether she's in pain. Give her calpol before bed, and ibuprofen on her first wake with some teething granules and see if she then settles for a longer stretch.

Otherwise, it's a big developmental point where they're usually nearing walking, standing independently etc. Some also suffer a bit from some separation anxiety when childcare arrangements change as Mum heads back to work. This can all cause unsettled sleep.

@headcheffer she is completely fine during the day but you could be right - although we have tried calpol/teething gels previously to no avail. She is crawling a lot and loves to be on her feet (assisted) so this could also be a huge factor. When she wakes throughout the night, sometimes she’ll sit up completely and even try to pull herself on the bars. Is this a tell tale sign of developmental progress?

Hi OP! Interested to know - What do you eventually do to get her back to sleep when she is crying? how long does the crying carry on for?
You say she is almost one - has she weaned from BF or formula?

While it's great that she's getting 2-2.5 hours of daytime naps, ensure that the timing of the naps doesn't interfere with her heardle nighttime sleep. Consistency in nap times can contribute to better nighttime sleep.

@Mooxxx hey OP! Did this get any better? Going through basically the exact same thing with our nearly one year old little boy! X

You are doing an 1v1 lol amazing job navigating this challenging phase with your daughter, showing incredible patience and resilience while seeking the best solutions for her well-being.

Consider introducing a comfort object like a soft toy or blanket that she can associate with sleep. This might provide comfort and reassurance when she wakes up during the night. Ensure her sleep environment is bad time simulator conducive to sleep, with dim lighting and a comfortable temperature. Finally, remain consistent with your soothing techniques and try not to reintroduce habits like co-sleeping unless necessary for both your and her comfort.

In this game, players are divided into teams, each starting on their own island with a bed they need to protect. Bed Wars involves gathering resources from generators to purchase blocks, weapons, and upgrades that help in both defense and offense. The goal is to destroy the beds of other teams while keeping your own bed safe. A destroyed bed prevents respawning, making its defense essential. The game is won when only one team remains with their bed intact or all other players are eliminated.

Both of mine had sleep regressions at 1 year. It was exhausting as it coincided with returning to work. I just had to ride it out. Check it's not teething and introduce a comforter - I took mine to a shop and let them choose one which made for a fun afternoon.
Mine slept through when they started walking (although we've hit a regression again at the moment with the younger one ). Maybe try to go to bed earlier to get sleep that way? With everything, try to remember that this is just a painful phase and it will pass.

my baby cry a lot. He loves listening to music so we just playing sprunki parodybox for him. it worked

My kids love music, they play sprunki retake all the time
