does she ever sleep thorugh at all? just wonder and going back to ages ago when you asked about this too....if you totally wear her out does she sleep?

She clearly needs stimulation but maybe shes not getting enough during the day so that she is continuing at night? Her night time behaviour is unusual and has been for months...have they ever looked at how you guys started out with her and her patterns as a baby - I was reading an american mag about a similar situation and they discovered the patterns set at birth came out in the toddler and they hadnt thought of that before....thougth of you when i was reading it....

otherwise i say phergan YOU, take sleeping pills or book into a motel...

The sleep guy said ALL infants are awake for long periods at night (according to research done with cameras in their rooms) but most are quiet so parents don't realise.

I'm not sure how else to try to change the behaviour as all the specialists say to leave her. Hmmm. Good ideas for consideration though thanks Bizzy.


You are so right about all babies waking up at night and parents not being aware of it. And you do get some toddlers that still have bad sleeping patterns. I really do think she is doing great. She is still staying in bed, she is not trying to actually get you to get up to do stuff for her or to cuddle or to even get her water ect.

I would also be hesitant to go in as I feel you will be feeding into the habit and she will actually get some attention from it. (if you know what I mean.) McKayla only use to go to bed at like 10 and wake up at 5 since she was a newborn and it is only lately that she is going down at 8 for me and sleeping through to 6 so I think it is totally normal.

What I think the problem is, is you actually getting woken up by all of this and disinterupting your sleep.

The one thing I might suggest is mozart for minors. You get the sleepy one that actually help them get to that deepsleep. If it is more or less the same time every night how about using the cd (pm me) and seeing if it makes any difference. I used it on McKayla and it would put her back to sleep at night (when we moved over here, but then again I used it on her since she was in my tummy).

Otherwise you can just work on getting you some more deep sleep. Hope the earplugs can do the job for you, otherwise you are going to try and "soundproof" her room a bit more. Take turns over weekends to have a bit of a lie down in the afternoon. Wont fix everything but you can catch up on some sleep. Also try and go to bed a bit earlier. Even if it has to be you one night and then DH one night.

Until the house is sold I really dont know what else to suggest. But Pm me about that cd.

OMG! I keep hitting the wrong key and I lose my loooooooong reply.

I'm not going to type it out in full again.

Short and long is that Mel - I tried your advice. I stood in the corner of her room and told her off everytime she spoke. I ended up standing there for over 5 hours and telling her to be quiet close to 100 times. She then woke at 7 saying "good girl, quiet in night". So yeah, she doesn't get it.

Now I have been awake all night...no sleep whatsoever since 7am yesterday.
