I have been having trouble lately at night with dd. And after being such a good little sleeper, I am stumped!!! She is now almost 11 months and still in her cot in our room.

She is waking constantly through-out the night. I have begun (please don't judge) to give her a bottle at odd times at night just to get her to calm down.

She will not wake up and want to play, she is just restless. She cries and gets into a sitting position and when I pick her up, she will throw herself backwards and arch her back and just cry. She will not be held and will climb out of my arms and to tell the truth - its dangerous, because I am not fully awake 80% of the time and are clinging on to her for dear life, kwim?? So when I put her back in her cot she will still be crying and I will offer some milk. She will take about two to three sips, spit out and go back to sleep. She wakes anything from 8 to 20 times a night. Sometimes, when I am lucky, she will settle on my breast (not boob, she is ff), but as soon as I put her back down, she cries again. We co-sleep sometimes when I am just not up to getting up, but that does not help and she is restless with me in bed.

Ok here comes the brain picking. I have ruled out the following:

1) earinfection - she has no problem with me touching or pressing on her ears
2) teeth - no swelling, no bumps, no redness
3) cold - if I throw a blanket over her, she wakes up
4) hot - if I put the a/c on, she wakes up
5) hungry - I give her dinner and a bottle and I offer milk through-out the night
6) tummy ache - I gave her something for that, but that did not help
7) gas/wind - I gave her something for that too, but that also did not help
8) I even tried throwing a blanket over her face, she just pulls it off

I am trying some anti-acid medication tonight, but I don't have much hope of that being the problem.

Please, if there are anything you can think off, anything. Any ideas, tips, remarks, let me know.

My mom do take her sometimes, so I do have somebody that can take her and give us a night's sleep when I really need it, BUT it's my baby and I can't give her to my mom EVERY night, that would just be unfair. And I want to get to the root of this problem. I want dd to have a good night's sleep as well.

Thanks in advance
