Sleep. Where art thou?

[Miss.September]

She hasn't reacted to any food since she's been on solids. While bf prior to that, she was sensitive to garlic, onion and prawns, refluxy when I ate them and a few spots with prawns. Since starting solids, she doesn't react to those when I eat them. She was slow to start on solids, not getting into them until seven months so the timing isn't right. She now eats what we eat, nothing spicy or strong flavoured. She goes back to puréed foods when she refuses our food because her teeth are causing issues.

I lay down and feed her at night but I don't sleep. The position we lay in mixed with my ordinary back means that I just don't doze off unfortunately. And she's started to bite at the end of her feed, so I try and get her off when it's obvious she's finishing.

Other than sleep, she's really obvious with her cues in showing us what she wants. I wish I knew what she wants now.

I think I'm going to try Arimeh's suggestion. I do get frustrated with her nightly antics so by letting it go might bring some relief to us both. Thanks for all the posts, I'll give them a shot and see how we go.

ETA - By 12 months we had scrapped day sleeps for DD1 as she wouldn't sleep at night while she had them. The only reason why we haven't scrapped them for DD2 is because she's just so tired. DD1 could manage without sleeps but I don't believe DD2 can.
