DD has just turned one and in the past couple of weeks has started pulling herself up to stand and cruising round the furniture.
As soon as that happened, over night she changed from settling herself to sleep in her cot no bother (into grobag, hand over Sleeptot, kiss on the head, out of the room, that's it) to seeming to find it impossible to settle herself.
Put her down as usual and she either springs straight over and up, or seems to have settled then starts crying/shouting/babbling and ends up standing up. Even when she's obviously knackered she seems to be compelled to stand up.
She can sit back down again and usually ends up asleep in a bit of a heap on her front.
Timing of naps has gone right up the spout along with it. Was previously doing a longish morning nap (hour/two hours) from about 9am and a short nap (45 mins-ish) around 1.30/2.30pm.
Now it's an hour here or there, at random times of the day. And sometimes she goes into her cot but doesn't sleep at all and I just get her up again after a bit.
Should we try and get her into a routine? Instigate one long nap in the middle of the day? WHAT??!!
Any advice welcome!
