Hello again
Well, just when Millie's sleeps were settling down things have gone from bad to worse. She has been ill and teething for about 8 weeks now, first she cut her bottom molars and now the top ones are coming through (points through but whole tooth not yet) as well as the top incisors. So she's been waking at night almost every night for 2 months. Been able to deal with this okay as most night she just needed one of us to go in and comfort her briefly then she'd go back to sleep. But this last week its all gone haywire!
She's been much more clingly than usual in the day and then she wakes at night (random times - last night it was 11pm) and will not go back to sleep. She wakes screaming and when we go in she quietens down and lies very still but doesn't go back to sleep. You can sit by her cot for ages without a peep but as soon as we make a move for the door she's up and screaming again. We're sooo sleep deprived and at our wits end. Sorry to say but we have resorted to all sorts of AP methods, i even had her in bed with me one night as i was so knackered and she did sleep for 3 hrs. Is this SA or just teething???
She's also been transitioning to 1 nap but still has 2 nap days sometimes when she's very tired. Nap times are a struggle too and she will often refuse to go in ehr cot and i end up resorting to buggy naps.
Feel like all my hard work and sleep training has gone totally done the drain...
Any suggestions??
