12 month old wont sleep !

[emzy]

Hi

Can anyone give me any advice ? My 12 month old goes to bed around 8pm but only sleeps until about 11pm and then gets up wanting a drink of milk. He is then up a few more times in the night for the same thing.....last night he was up EVERY TWO hours !!
ive tried the controlled crying with not much luck as he screams the place down.
He is such a good, content baby during the day but he is proving to be a challange at night ! i work full time so sleep vital at night as i dont get the chance to rest during the day.

Any advice ?

Hiya

Have you tried cutting out one of his naps in the day time ?

Hello,
I've had similar probs with my daughter and I now only let her have an hr and half through the day! She simply doesn't need much sleep. Any chance it's problems with teething are bellyache ? The only reason I ask is I've found these were some reasons why my daughter would be more disturbed through some nights.

Hi my little ones all wake up on and off. Recently my two year old started waking in the middle of the night. So we started dream feeding him again and now he goes through the night. Teeth are another idea, particularly at 12 months.

Best advice I can give is don't get upset or stressed. I find focusing on sleep rather than trying to be perfect helped us a lot. So what if the baby ends up sleeping with you, or you pop back a feed or you give her calpol.

I suspect you know what to do, just don't judge yourself for doing it. Motherhood isn't like the books, you know her better than everyone else.
