Sleep help

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

DD has always been a pretty good sleeper. She goes to bed around 7:30-8 and up at 6:30-7.

The past few weeks she has been having a few off nights. She will still go to sleep easy and then around 11:30-12 she wakes up crying. We used to be able to just go give a paci and she'd go right back to sleep but now she sees us and starts crying harder. So I'll pick her up and she's back to sleep in like 2 minutes of rocking but as soon as I lay her back down in the crib, she is wide awake. Last night DH changed her diaper and rocked her and she went back to sleep pretty easy.

I'm sure y'all are wondering what the point of this is. I have been reading a lot of posts about sleeping training and such and I'm just wondering does it sound to you like DD needs it? One night last week I did leave her in her crib and let her cry and both times I only let her do it 8-10 min before going in there. Now I looks like I'm going in there way too early so I'm just not sure if I'm making it worse.

I have no trouble getting her to go to sleep, it's just the fighting it in the middle of the night - is that a sleeping training issue?

    No advice, but interested to hear what people say, as of last week my son has been waking up at midnight and the only way to get him back to sleep is a bottle. So now he has a bottle at midnight and another one around 6am.. I know he can go all the way through the night! Is there some kind of growth spurt at 9 months??

    There is a developmental growth spurt and sleep regression around 9 months, so it could be that. Usually that would require some sort of sleep training to help fix. Is she teething, or not feeling well? If not, I would say sleep training is probably where you are headed.

    I feel like she could be teething but I'm not sure. When her first 2 teeth came in, she wasn't fussy or didn't lose any sleep really. At her 9 month checkup, the doc said her top gums were ready to go (as far as teeth), but I'm not sure what that means as far as if she is really teething or not.

    I know her ears aren't that great (she had double ear infections that didn't quite clear up with antibiotics so we are going back in 2 weeks), but she didn't really have sleep problems when she first got the ear infections either.

    Then I would try motrin/tylenol right before bed. If she is waking up as they are wearing off then its probably the teething. I know the top teeth were an absolute nightmare for us.

    You may not agree with this or even want to do it and I'll admit it was awful, but we did CIO last week because my LO decided to start waking 3,4,5 times a night all the sudden. I slept in the guestroom and DH tended to the babe. We did it no-nonsense and let him cry until he fell asleep and never went in there.

    He cried 2 nights and has slept through thye night since. It's been glorious.
