I cant believe I am posting this-we have been sooooooooooo lucky ith Rubys sleep so far. She was in a routine from day one in her on cot etc and slept through from 7 weeks 7.30pm-7am.
The past few months she has been waking in the night every couple of nights but the last 6 weeks have been dreadful. It started with her scarlet fever, 2 weeks of sleepless nights, and then a week on holiday she was a bit unsettled as she was in a travel cot in our room so woke every night. the past few weeks since we got back, we have had 2 nights where she has slept until 5am but the other nights its 3 or 4 times she cries.
I usually settle her with milk or calpol (she is cutting a back tooth) but its exhausting now. I work full time and I am finding it hard to concentrate during the day. OH gets up with me bu she wont settle for him, she wants me so I have to settle her which means 15 or so minutes at a time.
She loves her sleep, and did na 2 hours in morning, and 1-2 hours in afternoon but we have droped her afternoon nap now which doesnt help. She doesnt nap at all in nursery wednesday and fridays but that doesnt help-she still wakes......
OH and I are bickering constantly-we are both knackered and confused why things have changed so much.
Feel bad moaning as we have been lucky until now but I cant help feel it something I am doing wrong
Should we try controlled crying???![:think: :think:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/icon_think.gif)
