For the last few days Emily has awoken between 2-4am and is unable to get back off to sleep, even when she joins TheMan and I in our bed. She is also very whiny during this time, and obviously still tired. Before this past 3 days she had been sleeping through the night since she was 3 months old so I dont know what it could be. She eats plenty of

how old is she? when you say she wakes between 2-4am, do you mean for good, or does she just want a middle of the night party before going back to sleep?

i'm working on the philosophy that everything is just a phase at the moment. my daughter went through a spell of waking for 2 hrs in the middle of the night just before she turned one, but thankfully it didn't last long. she also went through a phase of waking at 4am and not going back to sleep at all, but she got over that as well (although i'm still recovering!) i have no idea what caused either habit but i suspect it's got something to do with development spurts or something? it could also be teething - vile nappies is the main sign we get when our daughter's growing a new peg or two. hope it doesn't last much longer for you, anyway!
