Please tell me it will come to an end ???

Thanks for the responses ladies.. Charnenay and Yaz, you rlittle girls sound so cute, but its not so cute at 2am, I often get woken up and she is standing in her cot, crying Mama in her sleep

Hasie, funnily enough her sleeping in the day has gotten better she used to slepp 3 times a day for 30 minutes now she has two napps of between 1 hour and 1.5 hours each.

Last night my husband and I took turns, he did until 2 am and then I took over, Hope this passes soon as I am loving htis stage, expect for the lack of sleep

but I am sure once she settles she will learn to walk or something and blow the routine out of the water....

ara please dont tell me I have to wait until two years before she sleeps, I might go crazy

Niki, sounds like a bit of separation anxiety (i can't spell today...) and maybe teething. They also fuss in their sleep if they are about to reach a new milestone like starting to crawl or walk.

Then off course it could be ear trouble or just about anything. But it is the age that separation anxiety sets in, so that would be the most likely thing for me. Try putting her in bed with the shirt or jersey that you are wearing at the time so that she smells you close to her.

How is she sleeping during the day?

Hope you get some rest tonight!!

Charnenay I don't have any advise but all i want to say is that this all will come to an end.

Our LB is now 33mnt old and he only started sleeping through at 26m. My mom always said to me "Don't worry this stage will pass". I wanted to strangle her sometimes for saying it, but it is the truth. Hope that your LO will be "rustig" tonight for mom and dad!!

Yip, Emily's favourite game to play at 2AM now is to "share" her dummy with us and God forbid we don't clap hands, then she throws a real wobbly!! This morning, she was showing us where her eyes and her tongue was ...................... for over an hour

P.S.: Lilly slept through the night for 3 consecutive weeks when she was 3 months old, but never again afterwards.

It's a lot better compared to a few months ago, but all goes down the drain as soon as one little detail changes, may it be teeth or a blocked nose or learning something new. So ja, unfortunately the whole sleep situation remains rather volatile for some time to come.

Madam has now discovered climbing for herself so the latest craze is waking up in the middle of the night and wanting to climb off and on the bed Never a dull moment. When she first learned to wave, she would wake up and wave for an hour, saying "bye" and "tata". When she realised how funny it is when Mommy and Daddy speak on the phone she would wake up and play "Lilly's on the phone" for an hour or two. I'm sure Charnenay can add to the list, her Emily and my Lilly seem to be twins that were separated at birth when it comes to funny behaviour

Niki - My LG was sleeping through the night from about 6 weeks until just before 8 months! Then things went a bit pearshaped. This also happened to be when she started crawling/standing up against things, etc. She STILL does not sleep through the night, but it has gotten better. For 2 monts, she screamed for hours every night no matter WHAT we tried! Now, she still wakes up at about 2AM (sometimes 4AM if I am really lucky!) and then we just bring her to our bed - not ideal situation, but at least we all get some sleep!

Good luck - I know how exhausting it can be.
