Hi.Emily is 18 months old.She is very clingy and has been since she was about 4 months old.The daytimes have been a nightmare anyway with screaming,clawing,pulling at me etc.Although with the help of my health visitor this is slowing down.About 2 weeks ago DD wouldn't go to sleep,have not had any problems with this before,but she keeps screaming and shaking the cot about 10-15 mins after we put her to bed.I tried the 1,2,3,4 minute etc thing.That didn't work,so I took her out for a cuddle and juice and she went straight to sleep.She now has worked her way through the night of staying awake and wanting cuddles,she screams as soon as she goes back to the cot.Last night she woke at 1am.By 4am I was at the end of my tether and had to leave her in the cot.She fell asleep at 4.45am.I've tried PU/PD as well.
She started teething at 3 months and most of them are through.She doesn't seem in any pain.Most paracetamols and ibruprofens make her hyper.
My other daughter Jessica is nearly 4 and is finding it hard.
Please anyone,can you help me.I'm so desperate now.
Thanks
Sarah
