I'm at a loss and beyond exhausted. I don't know what to do. Sleep has gone downhill for the last month (I think the longest stretch of sleep I've had has been 3hrs!). My 13 month old baby started cutting 5 teeth (4 molars and one bottom lateral incisor) all one after the other and started to roll and sit up, on her own from the lying down position, in the crib (I know she is late for those things and she is also not weight bearing on her legs because she is hypermobile) and if things weren't complicated enough separation anxiety is also at a all time high. She started waking a lot due to teething and usually the only thing that would calm her was nursing (before I could do pu/pd and she would go back to sleep). So now as you may have guessed she keeps waking and wanting to be nursed (signs and says milk over and over). I was down to 1-2 nursing session a night and now she is asking to be nursed 4-9 times a night. But even before we can get to the wakings I have a little monkey who keeps sitting up (she knows how to get back down on her own so that's not the problem) and when I do pu/pd she just sits up and/or asks for milk. Overall I know and understand that she is going through a lot but how do I get her to go to sleep and stay asleep? I'm exhausted and instead of it taking her 5-15min to go to sleep it's now taking 1.5-2.5hrs! I have also never been able to leave the room till she is asleep (I would just sit in her room and close my eyes and then she would fall asleep). I'm guessing I'm going to have to retrain all over again but how/what do I do? I never had this sitting up problem and the "offical" asking for milk.
Here is what our routine looks like (or at least it did before sleep went out the window):
7am wake up
715 am nurse
730/800 breakfast
930/1000 nurse
1130 lunch
1230 Nap (she has been on 1 nap for 3/4 months now so that's not new)
200/230 wake
230/300 nurse
500 dinner
645 bedtime routine starts (reading, brush teeth, bath, pj's, nurse, bed)
715/730 asleep
1230/130 nurse
400/500 nurse (this one might not happen if she nursed a little late)
Thanks for your help!
