    Where is my perfect sleeper?! GOING INSANE!

    Ahhh!

    I went through hell in a handbasket with DD and her colic and sleeping issues. Things improved at 9 months and continued to get better until recently, where her sleep has gone completely out the window. E.g. tonight, she went down at 11:30pm, slept for half a hour and now she's up again! What the?! She's been sick recently which seems to have started this but it should be over now. What the heck do I do? Before tonight, she was going to bed at 5 -6am. She was having late naps and I thought that might be causing the problem so today she didn't have an afternoon nap. Seems she decided to nap at 11 o'clock at night instead!!

    I've been through a similar thing with C at that age. I ended up putting him in a bed and he slept a lot better. I could also lay in his bed to help him get to sleep and then sneak out.
    She could be teething too. The molars and eye teeth knock them around a bit.

    I just had the thought today that she might be teething, actually. I recently put her in her own bed as co-sleeping wasn't working anymore and she did very well in it. She's back in my bed now though. She's also taken to the boob with avengence, she's on aaall night practically non-stop and when she's not feeding, she's got a death-grip on my nipples. It's so hard to sleep like that!

    She got up in the afternoon after a number of wakings, luckily my housemates weren't noisy so I was able to sleep with her. Wish she'd give the boob a break though!
