13 month old refusing to go to sleep at night! HELP!
I am slowly coming to the end of my tether and don't know what to do. My 13 month old DD has decided she won't go to sleep in the evening! She sleeps normally from around 8 or 9pm to 6am with an almost guaranteed wake up for milk at 3am. She then comes into bed with me a 6am, plays for awhile and goes back to sleep until 8 or 9am.
Recently, she is taking up to an hour and a half to go to sleep at night. I stay with her, rock her, rub her back in the cot, just sit there and she is almost asleep, but keeps checking to see if I am there. I have no idea what to do. I am sitting there til 10 or 11pm, night after night. I have tried the cry it out thing and last night that lasted an hour, but eventually she did sleep, so the whole process took 2 hours!
She drinks most of a bottle before bed, and another throughout the night, finishing it at 6am. She rarely drinks milk in the day time now. She also sleeps for an hour or 2 in the afternoon from around 1pm. She is seriously active, constantly on the move, so tires herself out.
The other thing that is new, is waking at 3am and refusing to go back to sleep til maybe 6am. It is exhausting!
Please, any advice is much appreciated!
