Hello everybody. I'm the mother of 12 month old Sophia from Athens, Greece and I would appreciate any ideas on how to deal with her new sleeping problems.
For the first 10 months she had no trouble sleeping day or night. Then she started waking up in the night. (she also started teething at the same time and she also stopped taking a morning nap) In the first weeks I did everything wrong. I either picked her up and held her until she fell asleep, or I even tried the cry out method, but then luckily I came across Tracy's book and I started the PUPD method and after a few days Sophia was falling asleep like she always has. This lasted for a few weeks. In the past 10 days we put her to bed and she is restless, she cries if we leave the room which she never did so far and the result is that her sleeping hours have changed. She used to nap around 1.00 until 3.00, now she falls asleep around 3.00.At night she used to sleep at 8.30 (in Greece it is consicered early) and now she cries and fusses until 9-9.30 and starts crying the moment we leave the room. So far these ten days we've been sitting in her room until she fell asleep. Is this wrong? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance
