Hi! My DD is now 8months and we have just come back from 2months in Tas visiting family. Before we went away we were in a great night sleeping routine - Taia would go down for the night around 7pm and only wake for 1 or 2 bottles in the night. When we were in Tas she still went to sleep around the same time and moved to only 1 bottle in the night. Now we are back home (SA) I have to fight her to go to sleep, she wakes up on average 8times a night (starts crawling to the end of the cot or just cries. I try not to pick her up, just wrap her up again and rub her back and she's back to sleep again - or I have to sit there for 10mins and rock her to sleep) and she's back to waking for 2 bottles at night.

At home she sleeps in a cot but in Tas she was between a port-a-cot and a bassinet. Could the warmer weather be a factor?

Does anyone have any ideas for me? It's driving me nuts! I find myself running out of patience with her in the night and I'm dead on my feet in the mornings! I thought it was meant to get easier as they got older!

PLEASE HELP!
