    Hi EJ, sorry you're having a hard time still. It's not you, ok? Have you ruled out all likely suspects - teeth, illness, developmental leap, food sensitivities etc?
    Also, before going ahead, have a think about what you want to do exactly - your goal - and what you're willing to do (so you don't get pushed into something you're not really happy about).
    All the best

    ETA - and for what it's worth, she sleeps a lot better than my DD So if you're a crap mother I'm a shocking one.

    That was kinda what i was trying to say! (and when my DD was 12 months, i must have been a shocking mum too!- we had break throughs around 12 months, 15 months & 18 months)

    I was thinking the same! If it's any consolation to you, my son who is a month older sleeps worse than that. He has 1x 60-90 min sleep a day and wakes about every 2.5-3 hours overnight.

    Crap, sorry Hun I used it when DD was 10 months old and she is now 4.5 yo. I cant believe they are no longer offering it. They must need the beds for maternity or something else. I know there was a lady whom used the service twice, so there was a demand. I know my gf used Tresillian but they were quite rigid. Best of luck, I hope you can sort something out ASAP. I know my gf used one of the services at home and she loved it. If you have no luck getting into a program I can get the details and PM u.

    Bad night....

    I just got her up and gave her to DH, i'm a little too upset to be with her right now.

    Yesterday she had one morning sleep, maybe the 40min to hour mark. Then in the afternoon she missed it. This is what i battle with, her sleep is such a mess and it's probably really important that we don't miss them but do i stay home all day every day (especially with the shcool holidays, no activities at the moment) just to make sure she gets another hour??? Yesterday we went to visit family of mine and the kids got a play in the pool, they loved it. I felt they needed something most of this week has been spent at home.

    So DD had maybe 5 min in the car at about 4-5ish and then woke up once home. We had dinner and a bath and she was in bed on 7pm. Then she woke about 10:30pm, was a real bugger to get back to sleep, i think she was finally alseep by 11:30pm. She woke again at 2:30, 3:30 and was up for the day at 5:50am. I fed her in the dark, no talking, put her straight back in her cot but she was chatty the whole time. I laid on the bed next to her cot hoping she'd relax and have at least another hour but no. I fed her every time she woke.

    Girls i'm sorry for those who are dealing with even more sleeplessness and are able to cope with that but i just can't anymore. I've reached the end of just being able to go with it. I don't want to resent her for my lack of sleep and her lack of sleep. When i'm on the verge of tears waking up especially after crappy nights it's not good.

    So last night i had a good look at a food/diet website (Thanks Willow) and i'm seriously going to look into diet for all of us. I believe i'm pretty good with our choices but maybe i'm not good enough. There's not use doing some sleep training if it's these outside factors that are messing with us. MadB i really do hear what you're saying

    I'm try but it's just so hard sometimes.
