My DD is currently almost 8 months old (corrected 6.5months) and has decided that she is too cool for sleep.

I don't know whether it is teething, upcoming milestone, wonder week, or ???

But I also don't know at what age sleeping patterns change but I think it unrealistic that at this age she only has one sleep per day - or two short naps. Yesterday she slept for an hour ALL DAY. She still slept well overnight (9.30pm until around 3am when she woke for a quick feed and we both fell asleep until 8.35am) and then today she has so far had 40min nap and is cranky and overtired.

But nothing will get DD to sleep, she usually feeds to sleep but today she is feeding for food and nothing else. Once she is full she pulls off and gets her second wind and plays.

I have tried darkened quite room, HAB, laying on the bed with her, going for a walk in the pram, a bath, patting, rocking etc etc I have utilised all my 'tools'. I could take her for a drive but I would just be driving for drivings sake and want to leave that as my last last option. I will not let her CIO

So I guess what I am after is some reasurrance that this too shall pass (even though my brain is telling me it will my ears are telling me she will never sleep again ) and some info on sleep at this age

TIA
