DD is 13 months old has never slept well and most of you on here know what I mean
About 3 weeks ago she started only waking once or twice this lasted for maybe a week, in the meantime I went to NY (had a blast) and she was great for my mum (0ne or two NWs) then the last night mum had her she woke ALOT just like she used to prior to the good sleep. Then I got back and she's slept like that ever since. It's getting OTT, I'm exhausted and have no idea why shes waking. Here's the background:
She goes to sleep fine no probs, starts screaming out LOUD anywhere from 1 hr later to 3 hrs later, there is no pattern only that the initial sleep is generally better than later on in the night. Often she'll just scream out and go back to sleep but many time I have to go to her where I either a) replug her (she's never had bad NWs from paci addiction and can replug herself but seems soo tired she doesnt even try AND she's slept almost TTN fine without being replug so i'm pretty confident it's not that) b) shhh her a little or c) pick her up and give her some camomille (she drinks this before bed...doesnt drink milk). Usually I hold her till shes fully out cold then put her back down as I cannot be doing any pu/pd at this time and I need the little sleep I get.
This goes on all night, last night was particularly bad as she never actually went into a deep sleep and I was pu all night
Shes always woken up a lot but its the screeching thing that's new and is totally throwing me, she also wriggles and writhes like crazy and it would appear she does have tummy ache (occasional wind too) BUT come 7 or 8 am she totally fine and continues to be so during the day.
She's cutting teeth atm and I have given pain meds and gel and no difference.
We swtiched to one nap about 3 weeks ago, but she's still transitioning in that shes clearly VERY tired come nap and bedtime but her behaviour isnt OT IYKWIM...
SO, BW brains, get your thinking caps on....
WTF???
