night sleeps are driving me mad!

[ss_storm]

Up until the last week DD has been sleeping ok at night, bed at 7.30 then she would wake sometime during the night (between midnight and 4am) have a bottle then go back to bed. Sometimes she would go back to sleep in her cot, other times I'd end up bringing her into bed with me just so I would get to go back to sleep.

However she now wakes up as soon as I go to bed, it's uncanny and I don't know how she knows mummy wants to go to sleep now...I've gone to bed at different times the last few nights and without fail every night as soon as I walk into my room or get into bed she starts crying (her cot is in a separate room to ours). I haven't been able to get her back to sleep, I've tried picking her up and resettling and she will fall asleep on me but as soon as I put her back down she starts crying and won't stop until I pick her up again.
Last night I tried giving her a bottle and sitting up for a little while with her but she still ended up in bed with us. It seems that nothing but being close to me will get her to go back to sleep.
I wouldn't mind except that DF doesn't like her being in bed with us, and while I don't mind it every so often, every night is starting to get to me. It's not that comfortable for me after a while because the arm I'm lying on goes dead and I can't roll over, she starts squirming around at 5/6am and while she is still asleep I'm awake because she is wriggling around so much. I don't sleep as well either because I'm still tuned into her movements to make sure she doesn't roll off the edge of the bed.

I don't know what to do...

I dont really have any advice, but wanted to give you a big
DS's night sleeps have gone to poop as well. Not in the same way but still, I understand the sleep deprivation.

Thanks Heather. It probably frustrates me more because she was sleeping fine, now all of a sudden it's turned sour..I can cope with her skipping day sleeps or being difficult to get to sleep then, but at night time as you can imagine it's so much worse! maybe Ishould start going to bed at 7.30 when she does..lol

Yea, I think if I was used to it it wouldn't be so bad. :shrug: Maybe it would IDK, does your body ever adjust to being sleep deprived?
I think about going to bed early all the time! lol. But then when do we get "me time".
