My 12 mth old dd is mostly spirited, with a bit of angel. She is cheerful in the day and adaptable. I had a lot of problems with getting her to slepp and eat properly. At 8 mths I discovered BW and started to implement it. It took a month to get her in a good routine, down to one wake up a night. She was having one or two naps a day, always a morning one, of about an hour and often a half hr one about 4pm. A friend invited us out one day in the morning and I thought, this could disrupt things but we'll give it a go. :cry: wish I hadn't.
ever since then, she's refused her morning nap, so I gave up, thinking maybe she's ready for one nap, so now I give her an early lunch and down for a nap about 12pm. Trouble is it's a nightmare to get her down w/out b/f, even though she's just eaten. I think she's using me as a dummy. Then she only sleeps for 40 min, sometimes an hour. She freaks out if I try to settle her back down or starts playing & being wide awake, so I get her up. Then she's awake until bedtime.
Since the change in routine she's started waking up more in the night again and wanting b/f. :shock: Last few nights have been even worse, she's had an upset tummy, then i had it, we're both better, but now everytime I put her in her cot she screams her head off. Please any advice would be great. I'm going crazy :twisted: Is it all because she's overtired, or not getting enough food?
