KL- we had this bout a month back and EVERYONE said it was a "STAGE" My DS didnt sleep through the WHOLE night til he was 2 and a bit... My idea of sleeping through is well with a few wake ups... LOL. Guess its just what i'm used to... We now have wake ups but some nights she will go all night. (just turned 10 months) If she wakes i offer small drink of water (cos she was getting used to and expected milk.
Flynn did this too. He was happily sleeping thru and then he suddenly wasn't. I don't know why...it sure was annoying tho! It lasted about a month and then he was 'back to normal' whatever that is!!!
You'll be pleased to know he is happily sleeping thru again now.
I hope it passes for you quickly.
Mayb look at other things rather than her being hungry ( i know shes a guts lol) Mayb try putting a lambswool underlay in the cot to sooth her more? DOes she kick her blanket off? Mayb try a sleeping bag? Or even one of them lights that makes shapes move around all over the roof so when she wakes it might keep her entertained for a little bit until she drifts back off? Or mayb she is just thirsty, does she grab and drink a sippy cup by herself? Mayb try leaving this somewhere in the cot for her? Just throwing ideas out there. Mia is always thirsting, last night during the night she woke and i had her sippy cup and she downed 100 mls of water and went straight back to sleep. Apart from that i dont really know hun, hopefully its just a phase. Shes teething too which prob doesnt help.
Its so hard to deal with Mia when i have had such a broken sleep, so i could imagine how buggered u are with a full on toddler. Hang in there sweety xoxoxooxox
DS is 15 months and still wakes atleast once a night, so not all babies sleep through at that age or older. I know plenty of mums whose kids didn't sleep thru til they hit the age of 2, so it's not uncommon either.
My DD who is just a little bit older than your DD has started waking once in the middle of the night, not every night, but it still happens. I just give her a bottle too and she drifts off to sleep herself.
I believe its normal, its got to do with milestones actually. I have a great book that has a lot of info on the different milestones babies go through and how they affect their behaviour etc.
While they say babies of our babies' age should be sleeping for 12 hours a night, sleeping through is actually considered sleeping for a block of 6 hours at least.
Any way I guess my post isnt much help, just wanted to let you know that your not the only one.
