So DD2 is now 13 months old. I had great advice from here when she was 11 months old, she was feeding in the night a lot and sleeping in my bed in the early hours of the morning. She now doesnt do that and I dont take her out of the cot until the first feed of the day. Since that posting she also has had 4 top teeth coming through so I have taken the bad nights on again as a result of the teeth. But now Im back to feeling desperate again as she wakes only once (which is still so much better than before) but then stays awake for 2hrs.
She tends to wake anytime from 2am to 4 am, there isnt a particular pattern. I dont take her out of the cot and say lie down, soothe her back down and say night night etc. So she tries really hard to get back to sleep for 2 hrs. But within that 2hrs she obviously gets frustrated and starts crying. Eventually she does go to sleep, around 5 30 to 6am but by this time dd1 is awake. Its every night that this is happening and I need a break as Im struggling in the day as I have dd1 and Im supposed to be doing paperwork for my dh business, dh doesnt really help at all except a bit on Sundays i cant even think straight anymore.
Her routine varies as sometimes she has 1 long nap at 12 30 until 2 30. Or she has 1 nap around 10 to 11 and then 3 until 3 30. Whatever she does in the day her nights are always the same.
