    12mth sleep - whats going on?!

    We are going into the 3rd week of middle of the night get ups and 0400-0430am get ups - is this normal for a 12mth old?
    Miss B will wake up between 2-3 times a night, each time not settling unless she has some bottle even if its a small amount and is now up at the crack of dawn every single morning!
    We have tried i assume everything - from black out curtains, to putting her in cooler/warmer clothes incase she is cold of hot and nothing is working!
    Im exhausted - it is so like having a newborn again!
    Just wondering if this is normal for this age of if its another one of those growth spurts or sleep regressions?
    We have even given her panadol incase teeh are bothering her but not even that helps!

    In summer/late spring its wake up early central here too! The birds here are sooo noisy - its so annoying!

    Eva is still waking in the night, but she is teething so that could be making it worse. Also now its heating up I think she;s getting thirsty - maybe B's the same? Maybe try water instead of milk?

    ahhh good suggestion - thankyou! maybe we could even leave the water in her cot with her - wonder how long that will take tho for her to catch on to it and start drinking it?

    This may not help you too much, but I found that when I stopped offering that night feed, he eventually just started sleeping through. He would cry for a bit and then go back to sleep. Now DS just wakes up starving super early in the morning and won't shutup until he has his brekky. I hope you are getting some rest x
