Hi all,
Hoping someone has some advice or a new direction to go in as I've tried everything. My 21mth old is waking multiple times a night. Generally 12, 3 and 5. Then up for the day at 7. She goes to bed with no issues, I take her back to bed with no issues. But it keep happening. Now her naps are going from 1.5/2hrs down to 20-30mins. She's exhausted. I'm exhausted. The whole family is at its wits end.
It started more than four months ago. Her 18mth sleep regression hit, in October, when we were all sick with multiple viruses back-to-back for 5 weeks. Alot of co sleeping and multiple days naps. But we worked through it and got her back into her crib. The multiple wakings kept happening though. Go in, stick her pacifier in. No worries.
December, she started trying to climb out of her crib, so we moved to a big bed. Few nights of crying, 'camping out' and putting her back. No problems. But the night waking kept happening.
January, I thought maybe it's her pacifier. It falls out and she wakes asking for it. So we got rid of them. One fussy night. Fixed. Never asked for it again. But the night wakings kept going.
I've tried camping out, I've tried letting her fuss, I've tried being nice, being stern, not saying anything. But it keeps happening. We take her out for huge days and run her ragged, keeps happening. We have a good wind down before bed. She's well fed. She suffers with colic on and off but tells me when that's the issue. I've put her back on full time meds for that to rule it out. She's not cold, she's not hot. She communicates well. I just need some help. Please. We need our sleep back!
Her night is 8 - 7, nap is 12 till 1:30/2, when it's good.
Thankyou for reading.
