Carmela, 18 months old, wakes up at least five times every night. Usually it's even more than that and sometimes she's up for 2 hours!!!!!!! She doesn't cry, she just plays and talks and then will whine a bit and then eventually go back to sleep. I've always figured it was normal but lately as she's been doing it a lot, I am so exhausted!!!!!! I just can't sleep with her screaming and playing and talking so loud. I don't think anything can be wrong with her as she is just playing, etc. Anyone else do this? And when does it typically end?!?!
