Title: Please help my 7 month old baby girl has started waking hourly!
Post by: twins26 on July 02, 2009, 14:47:23 pm
My 7 month old baby girl was a really good sleeper and up until last month was sleeping 7pm till 6am but last month started waking earlier and now is waking hourly. I thought it was her dummy and therefore weaned her off it so now she goes to sleep without it no problem in her cot with no props at 7pm. Please look at my routine and if nyone can offer any advice I would be keen to hear from you. I was wondering if it was something to do with her devleopment or is it being seperated from me??

7am Get up and have a bottle
8am Breakfast
Activity 8.30 till 9.30am
9.30am Nap for 1 1/2 hours
11am Bottle
12-12.30 Dinner
12.30-2ish possibly 2.30 Activity or go out
2.30pm Nap for 1 hour sometimes longer
3.30ish Water sometimes bottle if hungry
4.30 Tea
4.30-6pm Activity and sometimes go on a walk
6pm Bath and bottle
7pm Bed and straight to sleep

She will then sleep till 12sh with no wakings but after that wakes every few hours sometime screaming with eyes closed. Last few days maybe the heat but before that who knows.

ANY IDEAS ????????????????????????????????

Have you let her try to self settle when she is crying with her eyes closed?  I wouldnt guess it's separation anxiety seeing as she gets to sleep on her own. Could this be teething?

Had another really bad night! I will try to extend A time this morning and reduce afternoon A time hopefully that will make a difference.

FINGERS CROSSED!

Ok so I did not let her stay up for more that 3 hours and she napped for 1 1/2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. She slept from 6.45pm till 3am without crying then cried on and off from 3am till 5am. Nothing I did could settle her and I had to feed her. I also gave pain meds at 5am and she is still sleeping now from 5am. I gave pain meds at the beginning of the night incase she was teething do you think it is that?

Looks like she is now getting two front teeth cos I can see the outline of teeth on front of the gum!
