My 20 month old, who has previously slept fine, 7.30-5.30/6am, has started waking up a couple of times in the night.
This started after we came back from holiday a month ago and coincides with a change in her childcare arrangements and a bad cold. I had thought that she would settle back down after the cold had ended but she is still waking.
I am still breastfeeding, albeit once in the morming and in the evening but now this has also increased. She points to the door to our room at 3.30am and demands to be fed.
I find this really upsetting as I had enjoyed feeding her but now I just feel annoyed as I don't get any sleep.I work 3 days a week.
She is such a happy bubbly child, who has lots of connfidence, but I now worry that there is something going on that is making her unsettled. The obvious thing is the new childcare arrangments, she was previously looked after 1 day at home with grandma and another 2 days at home with a nanny. This has now changed as the nanny had to leave so she goes one day with grandma and two days over to her auntie and baby cousin. She adores all of them esepcially grandma, but I do worry as she repeats their names over sometimes that there is too much going on in her world. Sorry to ramble so, I just need some advice from anyone who might have gine through this. I feel so disheartened as we had a great sleep routine, even though I mostly feed her to sleep she could always settle herself. I don't want to go through the cc route, should I ride the storm, is there anything I can do??
