Basically, it's night after night of restless sleep for all of us. She's not awake long necesarrily...but just often. It's been going on for so long now, it can't be teeth. Or she would have 10 million. It's likely been over a month. I am just trying to work out what could be causing the restless sleep.
Tonight, for example. We put her down and she woke 3-4 times without settling herself. We had to give her dummy over and over. Her cries we're piercing. Sounded like pain. But that is not always the case.
I know we should take out the df. But with so much going on (holidays) I have put it off. She naps well durring the day, just restless at night.
Based on her eating routine above, is she eating enough? I try to take ques from her. She seems ok durring the day.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
