1 year on and still no sleep!

[Wildtrekkeruk]

DD2 turns one in 2 weeks time and is awake every night from 1am - around 4.30am. I feed her, change her etc but she still wont sleep. By this age my dd1 was sleeping through the night. Husband and I are at wits end now. Any advice anyone please?

Don't feed her in the night. Don't change her in the night. That's it, really. She will quickly realize there isn't much point to waking everybody up if it's just to be told to go back to sleep, and sleep through.

That makes sense really. A bit of cold turkey for a while I guess

PMSL at CoteDAzur's advice... now if only I'd thought of that, my 2 yo would be sleeping through... oh hang on, she hasn't had a change or milk or anything for at least a year... so am I expecting her to 'get the message' soon?

(Cote's advice is worth a try of course but... IME when dd has woken for a long period at night it has been cos of teething. Dentinox rocks.)

Sorry you just pissed yourself because of me Umlellala. I also have toilet training advice, if you need it

More seriously, OP is asking for advice on getting her DD to sleep through the night. The glaring mistake there is feeding and changing her in the middle of the night. If she still doesn't sleep through after several nights of no feed/change/conversation/play in the night, we'll talk about other options.

Ah, it was but a hollow, sleep-deprived laugh - from one who has now done everything 'right' but still has a child who wakes up a lot (albeit easily settled - by herself or me).

I do agree though, it is def worth giving the 'no milk' etc a try - but if she is awake for that long... hmmm, I still think it might be teething. (Or just one of those weird phases)
