Irregular sleep at night 14 months old.

* Establish a Consistent Bedtime Routine:    * A predictable routine signals to your daughter that it's time to wind down. This could include a warm bath, quiet play, reading a book, a gentle massage, and then feeding (if part of the routine) before putting her down.    * Aim for the same bedtime each night, even on weekends, to help regulate her internal clock. * Optimize the Sleep Environment:    * Darkness: Ensure her room is as dark as possible during sleep times. Use blackout curtains to block out any light.    * Quiet: Minimize noise disturbances. A white noise machine can be helpful to block out household sounds or outside noise.    * Temperature: Keep the room at a comfortable, cool temperature (generally between 18-22°C or 65-72°F).    * Safety: Ensure her crib or sleeping area is safe and free of any hazards. * Address Night Feeds and Weaning from the Nipple:    * At 14 months, many children no longer require night feeds for nutritional needs, especially if they are having a well-balanced diet during the day. However, night feeding can become a comfort association.    * Gradual Reduction: If you suspect the night feedings are more for comfort than hunger, you might consider a gradual approach to reduce them. This could involve offering less breast milk or shortening the feeding time over several nights.    * Comfort Alternatives: When she wakes, try to offer other forms of comfort first – gentle patting, soothing words, a lullaby, or a brief cuddle without offering the breast immediately.    * Daddy's Role: Sometimes, if the mother isn't present for night wakings, the child is less likely to associate the wake-up with feeding. If possible, your partner could try comforting her during some of the night wakings
