As children get older there sleep requirements change as ours do, they will sometimes not eat as much as they did a month or to ago and as body's change and we as parents think somethings wrong ,the body gets ready for the next stage .this may be all the rest she needs, you have to try adjusting to her change . the saying if it ain't broke don't fix it, she will be ok

the same thing happened with my eldest son. he would sleep only for an hour. to the minute. it was soooooo hard sometimes as i had to finish a lot of work within the hour.
oil massaging him and giving him a shampoo bath and/or heavy lunch might make him sleep longer. but i dont think it is recommended to give the baby shampoo bath everyday
good luck!

This is normal for all kids! It's like they have an alarm clock in them to wake up at that time. It does not matter what time my child goes to bed 7,8,9,10, he is still up at 6am! Your sleeping in days are gone for now. This is something that in time will get better. wait till they are two and don't never want to go to slepp and when they do it is not for long. They are like the energize bunny they kepp going and going and going and rest/ not sleep to charge right back up! At least I feel that way. Good Luck!

If she is sleeping 12 hours straight she is doing great!! If you want her to sleep later in the morning then keep her up later in the evening....although it may not work...you may just have a morning person on your hands!! That will be great when she starts school.

Go to the auto parts store and purchase a can of ether. Spray a little of the ether on a cotton towel and place it over your daughter's nose and mouth. She will lose consciousness quickly. Depending on how much ether you spray on the towel will determine how long she will sleep. However, be aware that if you apply too much ether, it may have harmful effects on her. Glad I could help.
