My dd is 11mths old and we have always seen to her during the night. However almost a year on my husband and I have had enough and things have only gotten worse not better. Last night I saw to my dd in her cot about 5 times before 1am, when I brought her in to our bed. This didn't soothe her either, she just wriggled and turned and moaned and at some points cryed out in her sleep. I tried to give her Calpol in desperation at about 4am (thinking it could be teething) but she knocked this from my hand and I gave up as am shattered and don't know whether it would help anyway. She isnt normally this bad but she is normally quite bad. I have started keeping a log following Elizabeth Pantleys No cry sleep book as dont think the crying out is an option for us (not just yet anyway). Has anyone tried this method? Is anyone else still struggling with 'the basics'? I am starting to feel if we don't get some control over sleeping and eating (but thats another thread) then my dd is going to run riot over us! We both work full time (I'm 4 days a week) and we are due to move out in 2 weeks and will be staying with family until July when we move into our new home. Can things be resolved despite this?
