I don't have a solution for you except to let you know you're not alone. It seems that the minute lo turned 1 her nighttimes changed. She went from 12-13 hrs a night to 11, and with a recent bout with rotavirus, molars, and changes in our household she's now waking up twice a night, one around 9-10pm and next around 3am. This morning she awoke and started crying at 3:30am, I discovered that her diaper had leaked so the poor thing was really uncomfortable but even after I changed her she just wouldn't calm down. She didn't want to be held, and she didn't want to be put down. She was thrashing about and I could not even recognize my dd. I just didn't know what to do. She would cry hard for a little while, quiet down, 3-4 minutes later she would cry really hard again, and so on. It's so frustrating not to be able to comfort my own child, I just don't know what she wants and with 10 hr days at work, I'm exhausted! I'm just hoping it's a stage, and a short one at that.
