Restless 1 Year old

Oh mama, what you're describing sounds very much like the 12-month sleep regression, totally normal at this age, especially when they're hitting big milestones like standing, cruising, or about to walk. The daytime jumpiness and night wakings often come together as a package because their brain is just so busy processing everything new. The trickier part that someone in my mum group brought up is the sleep association, if your LO has gotten used to being rocked or fed back to sleep, she may genuinely need that to settle again each time she stirs at night, and unfortunately it doesn't always fade on its own without some gentle adjustment to her bedtime routine. Some mums found gradually reducing the rocking over a few nights helped break the cycle, while others felt their child just needed a bit more time before they could self-settle, so it really depends on your child and how much the night wakings are affecting everyone. Either way, it is worth flagging this to your PD or a paediatrician just to rule out anything else and get guidance that fits your LO specifically.

Hi mum, I went through something similar with my LO around that age also, suddenly become super active and bedtime become a battle. At around 1 year old, it can actually be quite normal because they are going through developmental leaps, more energy, and also testing boundaries more, so they look like they “cannot sit still” at all. But I also noticed when my child was overtired or stuck in a cycle of night waking + feeding, it made the restlessness worse at night. What helped me a bit was having a very consistent bedtime routine and slowly reducing night feeds if possible, otherwise they keep waking expecting it. If it continues very intensely or sleep becomes very disrupted for weeks, maybe worth checking in with PD to rule out sleep issues or discomfort.
