    Where have my peaceful nights gone??

    My DD is 7 months. She has gone from sleeping all night since birth to sleeping for 8pm to midnight then awake for an hour at 3 or 4 am.

    She isnt teething at the moment, although she cant be too far off, she got her first too right on 5 months, however they were surprise teeth, no disturbed sleep, no grizzles, no red cheeks, nothing.

    It is starting to drive me batty, its been going on for about a month now and my DF doesnt wake up to her so its always me getting up to her and having just started back at work its taking its toll. (but another reason for me to get on DF's back about letting me stay home for another 6 months )

    Any ideas on how to get her to sleep better?? Going to try Lavendar tonight and maybe tie a worn top on her cot other then letting her sleep with me (wriggly bum that she is) I am all out of ideas. HELP

    I know exactly how you feel. My DD did this too and I was at my wits end wondering whta had happened. Then all of a sudden she starting sleeping through again.

    It's a stage some go through, my DD would wake up between 3 and 4 and be playing and singing in her cot in the pitch black. I wouldl just leave her and she would go back to sleep, although some nights it could take an hour or so.
