Sleep 😴
My little girl is a nightmare currently at sleeping! She’s 17 months old. She only has 1 nap a day around 11 or 12ish and it can last for 1-3 hours. She then will sleep between 7.30-8.30pm. She will wake up most nights at 1am crying so I have to settle her in our bed or give milk, then sometimes again at 3am and she will always wake up at 5am no matter what time she goes to bed. It’s so exhausting and I’m really struggling myself with the lack of sleep daily. Any suggestions on how to improve this?
If she sleeps with me she will sleep all night through till 8am 😂🙈 but I don’t want to encourage co sleeping as she has never done this

Sorry, liked your post as it's so relatable. Don't have any solutions unfortunately. My son also sleeps better if we sleep together, but still wakes up between 5-6 am regardless.
I have had a similar issue to you, my son has struggled to sleep through for months! But also like your daughter, my son sleeps so well in our bed!
What I will say as being in our bed for a few weeks has allowed him to settle faster, he’s now able to do this in his cot but we’re just trying to get him back in his bed for longer stretches now.
It could just be a phase, I feel like my son is finally getting through it (hopefully anyway!). It’s been months but I actually think sleeping with us for a bit has helped him. It’s just a cause of riding the storm sometimes, as hard as that is. It might also be worth capping her naps to 2 hours max. as that’s might help her have longer stretches of sleep at night 😊x
