9 month old sleeping nightmares!

Thanks for the replies guys .... things have been a little better but it's still a bit patchy!
It seems to be a developmental thing.... the cot refusal just disappeared after about a week as if it had never happened! In the meantime I had just improvised and usually let her sleep in the pram.

Do you put her in the cot, close the door & walk out?

No I don't do that.... she gets apoplectic! But occasionally lately I have been able to resettle her just by standing next to the cot saying shh mummy's here.... but only after she was over the cot refusal thing.
Pink, things seem to be settling down a bit, we are down to 1-2 wakings a night and usually settling relatively easily... fingers crossed things keep getting better.

Pixie chick - I think its catching, and now Miss M has got it. Last night was the worst night ever here. Me sooooo tired....

I just read someone else with a 10 month old has posted a thread on the same thing! It only took about a week for her to get over it if that is any consolation. babe, hope it passes for you... We are still not out of the woods but things are a bit better.

Glad to hear things are improving Pixie, the sunlight in finally starting to appear

We are still going through very sporadic sleeping patterns here, last night was the best in a few weeks (thinking back to two nights in a row of good sleeping - should never have posted a Woo Hoo about it !). She went through to 6am for a feed, then slept in our bed until we got up with only a stir at about 11pm, with a quick resettle.

Last night she actually ate a reasonable amount for dinner, it was a slow process (offering finger food then some yogurt afterwards), she actually ate more than 2-3 tiny spoons of food! So I don't know if that was a coincidence or not

Mel, I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight

Must be a 9 month old thing, we have been having worse sleep in this house too, due to my 9mth old. Sorry no advice, I haven't slept well for about 2wks now (actually it's more like 26mths, but that's a whole other thread!)
