My 17mth old DD goes to bed fine at 7 or 7.30pm but has started waking anytime between 1am and 4am. She calls out for a while then starts to get cross and cry or scream. For the past 2 weeks we have tried CC. Very hard to do but we need to get this situation sorted. However it han't made any difference. From the time she wakes up she is awake until we get up at 6.30am (as are we with all the noise and toing and froing to her room). She then has 1 or 2 hours sleep in the day but is permanently tired. I am at my wits end. Are there any other methods to try? I wonder if it has something to do with diet (although even if we give her some milk she refuses to go back to sleep) because she doesn't eat. Beyond half a weetabix for breakfast she merely has 2 small cups of milk and sometimes a breadstick or half a banana during the day. I cannot force her to eat, but wonder if I should cut out the milk so she is really hungry? However she is never desperate for food when she wakes so I dont think its hunger waking her. I am just soooo tired and low.
