My daughter has always been a great sleeper but has started waking once or twice in the night for the past few weeks. This doesn't sound so bad until I add that she's awake for at least two hours if not more.
I understand the reasons why she may be waking; mental leaps, physical development (she has just started crawling) with a bit of teething thrown in but I don't know how I should be handling it.
She doesn't want milk and doesn't accept a feed and only sitting with her keeps her quiet. If I'm not in the room she constantly shouts but being in the room or cuddling her quitens her down but does not get her to sleep. It's like she's wide awake and wants to get up.
My husband is working away at the moment and I'm exhausted and don't know what to do. She's been awake 2 1/2 hours now and isn't showing any signs of wanting to sleep.
Please help
