Thanks Nik, for your continued support anyway. I see your are having your own issues with Lily, tbh reading yuor post it was very similar to Maya at the moment, so I am wondering if we are having teething issues too, as looking back this blip happens every once in a while and i think it may be teething as she becomes really clingly, long nw's, ew's and i am not sure it is all down to OT. Yesterday she woke at 4.30 for 10 mins and slept til 5.30 , napped at 11.20 for 2 hrs and I aimed for bed at 6.30 , which i know was short but i am still guesssing too! anyway she fell asleep about 7 after running rings round me, she chats also, and keeps telling me the same thing over and over, throws her dummy out asks for things, blah, blah, blah! and wont let me out the room. She then woke at 3am!!!!! and was not interseted in going back to sleep, doing the same thing again she did not even seem a tiny but tired which cant be right after 8.5hrs, surely? she was not even crying only laughing, little sod! I gave her some meds just in case and we did take her in bed with us (very bad parents, but we had been out and neither of us had the energy to deal with her at this time) she still took around 1hr to go back to sleep which is pretty normal again at the mo, and she slept til 6am. So the bottom line is I think I am going to be giving meds for a short time again to see if it makes any difference, as like i mentioned before when it has been this bad before it was down to teething as she normally settles herself at night for bed at least, although she is also coming on leaps and bounds with her vocab so maybe is is developmental too. Argghhghh , there is always something, isnt there? Hope you gets things sorted too.
