20mo old waking up/staying up...HELP

PayolaCrayola

Hello All,

We have been bedsharing w/DD since day 1 and it has worked out pretty well for the most part. She still doesnt sttn but she was down to waking for 1 bottle then going right back to sleep so it wasnt so bad. (Yes, i know she doesnt NEED a bottle at night anymore but since I work so early and Im not a fan of CIO I have'nt tried to break her of this) Anyway the issue is for the last week or so she has started to wake up and STAY up for at least 2hrs...then she will sleep fitfully for about an hr then wake up and cry for another bottle. We have a 2nd bedroom but havent bought her a bed yet so 2 nights ago I just got up and went in there w/her and laid on the floor and let her play....after about 45min she laid next to me and fell asleep.

I really dont know what to do. I thought that its probably her molars coming in because she has all her other teeth but Ive given her Tylenol and Tablets and nothing helps. Plus she doesnt really cry its more like she just wants to talk/play. Has anybody gone thru this? I am planning on buying her a bed in the next month so I can sleep in there with her and gradually get her to sleep on her own but what do i do until then? TIA
