Amelia is 11 mo old and about 3 weeks ago she finally has started STTN. She didn't eat at night, too - she just drop it all of the sudden and just started sleep thru.
I was soooo happy.
And suddenly, about week ago, she started to wake again, but couldn't resettle herself back to sleep (she used to do it, she's an independend sleeper since 4 mo old).
Now when she wakes at night (it can be somewhere between 1.30 am and 4.30) she screams and cry like calling for help. She can chat as well. Then she's quiet and she seems to be asleep for a while and suddenly it starts all over again. And sometimes she does sounds wide awake.
When I go to her she seems to need my presence to go back to sleep. I put my hand on her back and she calms herself down. It could take somewhere between 30 min to 2 hrs :/
Last night, when I was there, standing by the crib, I noticed that she moves a lot - roll on one side and another, kicks and moves all around the crib. And she cries usually while she moves, like it disturbs her go back to sleep.
I don't know how to deal with this.
Should I just go to her, calm little bit and leave her alone? Or maybe be there for her? Does it look like SA? She's fine during the day when I leave her for a while to play. She was fine all nights long for last 2 weeks.
What's going on?
She has finally started do crawl about month ago and she tries to walk by herself (she has started it before crawling).
Her naps are little mess, too. She has started to refuse nap in the morning (so we took her into the stroller, where she could asleep right away). The second nap she usually takes in the stroller, while she had problems with it, too. This nap could last as long as 1.5 hrs.
Right now she sleeps twice a day for 45 mins.
I'm afraid to make a switch to one nap only, while we had such a problems with older daughter. She has made a switch quite soon (when she was 8 or 9 mo old) and has dropped the afternoon nap at age 2.
I wanted to keep Amelia for 2 naps as long as possible, but I know I can't do it at all cost.
She's usually up for the day around 7-7.30 am, eats 3 solid meals, drinks 2 bottles and takes 2 naps (the total of sleep during the day is somewhere between 1,15 and 2 hrs).
Please ladies, what do you think?
I really need your advice.
Thanks a lot.
