Mariana has continued with her sleeping troubles. After doing more research, I've discovered that she DEFINITELY has night terrors. Her father suffered a similar fate as a toddler. This has been exceptionally problematic. I have been driving myself nuts. Phillip and I have been going crazy trying to keep her calm and comfortable while putting her to bed. Apparently, everything we've been doing has been the wrong thing. For instance, napping. Skipping naps perpetuates the problem. Night terror intensity and frequency increases with sleep depravation. Now she's not sleeping well at night, and then skipping naps... She's definitely not getting enough sleep.
We've begun a strict nap schedule and bedtime schedule. Hopefully, that will help.
