At my wits end with DD's sleep. She's 1 next week and it's only getting worse.
An example night (last night) which is standard and has been for the last few months.
Asleep 7:30pm (no issues settling in her own bed, understands her bedtime routine)
10:15pm wide awake, wants to play
Doesn't settle until 2:30AM
Back awake at 3:30AM
Settles 5AM
Wide awake 6:45AM
This combined with her 1 hour of naps totals 7ish hours sleep in over 24 hours - this surely isn't healthy for a walking 1 year old....
Anyway...we are extremely sleep deprived and I'm genuinely wondering how my daughter is functioning. She goes to nursery and is mobile, eating is ok for her age...
Health visitor doesn't want to know, when I expressed concerns at Christmas time she said "she's a baby not a robot"....
I've priced up a couple of sleep consultants some of which are local - seems to be around £300/£400 for a full "plan" and into the thousands for home visits 🥲
Im also trying to arrange paeds appointment through my work private insurance
DH is emergency services so I'm alone 4 nights a week... really want to pay the money, he says its just exploiting desperate people.
