We’ve been on EASY since she was 5 mos, but we’ve had our battles with short naps, OT, and habitual waking. She's spirited and touchy. She is breastfed and started solids at 6.5mo. We sleep trained her at 5 months using PU/PD.
I know that night terrors don't usually start until later, but I don't know what to call these. My 11mo will wake up usually 45min-1hr after I've put her down. And then an hour after that. Then the hour after that. Ex: 8pm bedtime, 9NW, 10NW. She just wakes up screaming, sometimes standing. I wait for it to escalate, and then when I go into her room, I pick her up once, then put her down when she's calm. Then I soothe her with a hand on her back and humming softly. She usually settles quickly. Occasionally, (1 out of 5 times) if she wakes up before 11pm she'll put herself back to sleep, or she'll skip an hour. After 12, she'll usually wake up at least once more before wake up time, which is around 6:30. I've been keeping a sleep log for months, and it seems that it has always been this way. She can have a perfectly rested day and not seem overtired, but still wake up anyway. Now we're also amidst the 2-1 transition, so it's been quite chaotic.
I'm just wondering has anyone else experienced this? Or is there another name for this? Any advice? I'm open to any suggestions or support.
