Dd goes to bed at about 7.30 which i think is an appropriate time as she is 18 months old.

From about 2am onwards she will wake up and unless I cuddle her or put her in bed with me will not go back to sleep.

She will wake continually sometimes if i settle her and put her back in her cot. most nights Im lucky if i get 3 hours sleep. Its beginning to maake me hate her. We haad a few issues when she was born with bonding and although those are all dealt with now I do worry that her sleep troubles will spoil our relationship.

Im on my own so there is no dp to take it in turns and im at a loss of wht to do. I havae tried giving her milk, changing her nappy, making sure she is warm enough but she just wants me.

we are going on holiday next month with friends and there have already been snide comments about my kids "behaving".i just really want it sorted so i can get soem sleep myself.

Im sorry I dont have any advice but ds did exactly this between about 1 yr to 20m and then it just stopped, we didnt do anything different he just grew out of it.

hopefully the end is in sight then..... just totally knackered now!

Im going to go and get some teathing powders this afternoon and give her those before bed in the hope that if it is her teeth that are bothering her they will keep her quiet.

I know I might sounds a bit horrible but Im at the end of my teather and I want to be able to have a good relationship with dd but at the moment resent her.
