Help! My 1 Year Old Wont Sleep Through the Night Anymore!

It's because she is just 1! Very, very common occurrence right about the time they turn 1. I learned this when my super sleeping champ started suddenly waking right around the time he turned 1. They become much more aware of the outside world, they wake in the night and don't want to miss out. Just provide gentle comfort to get her back to sleep-tell her it's still night night, etc, offer something to drink perhaps or nurse her if she nurses. It will pass. Just keep up your normal routine. Letting her cry it out isn't going to help at all.

1 will get you 50 that she's hungry. She just hit a HUGE growth spurt stage.

The other common things to check are teeth and ears. Both of which will keep waking her up out of pain.

My suggestion:

When she wakes up give her a bottle of warm milk or formula (milk is super food containing fats, proteins, sugars, vitamins, and minerals). If she doesn't conk out for the rest of the night... give her a dose of tylenol. If she's STILL waking and waking, take her to the doctor to check her ears and sinuses.

My first thought is teeth. Does she have any coming in? That's the sort of nuisance-y thing that your baby may be able to ignore while she's busy during the day, but which can really bother her at night. You might talk with your pediatrician about this.

Hi...your daughter sounds like my son who also turned one in December. I just recently used the CIO method to put him to sleep. Then, I'll gently rock him through the night if he wakes. If he's up for a long time, I just leave him in the crib to scream. It seems to work. Sometimes, I'll go in and gently rub his back to get him back to sleep instead of picking him up, rocking him or nursing him. He's been much better at sleeping the past few nights...hope this helps:)

This happened to me with my 14 month old a few months ago...it turned out she was hungry. She wasn't eating enough substantial foods during the day. She was drinking her milk, but needed more calories than a few babyfood jars and light snacks. I knew it wasn't loneliness when she would cry in our bed relentlessly.
