My DD has gone from a baby who would sleep the night through to a crying screaming horror who won't sleep anywhere but on me!

Starting at 9 months when she got her 2 top teeth and started crawling, she's rejected her dummy, wants to hang off the boob constantly and WON'T sleep in her cot anymore.

I'm at my wit's end. I run an at home business and depens on her daytime naps to get anything done for it. I haven't touched it in over a month!

DH and I are cranky with each other constantly, as we get no sleep with her in between us and haven't BD in a month as she insists on being with me 24/7.

:hissy:

Where's my perfectly napping night-sleeping darling gone?

:hugs: I hear you hon.

Check out the other Sleeping/Settling threads.

I've got no solid advice for you as I'm going through a similar thing myself, but the support you instantly feel when you realise you're not alone is comforting.

My bub has just started crawling too and we're sure she's teething. I'm told it is a stage and it will get better.

Hope things improve.

I'm also in the same boat with my little 8mth old girl. She was a great sleeper and would go to sleep herself and sleep through the night until she reached 6mths. Its progressively got worse. She fights sleep & then wakes constantly thru the nite. she has recently got her first tooth and I know that it wouldn't have helped. I have tried panadol and bonjella but nothing has worked so far. have just started control crying and it is really hard, don't know if I'm doing the right thing. Its so hard to know what to do. i'm hoping its just a phase that they will grow out of. You're not alone!! I keep reading different opinions on here and don't know if it makes it easier or harder. Guess you just have to work out what's best for you and your bub.
