DD as been sttn since 2.5 months. Last night she woke at 10:30 (gave her dream feed) 11:45, 1:00, 3:30, 5:00 and then up for day at 7:30. Besides the dream feed i needed to get her back to se rocking as I do at the beginnning f the night. It seems she was not hungry as she quickly went back to sleep. What do you think it would be? Should I have fed her at one waking?
Up 7:30
S. 9:30 - 10:15
S. 12:00 - 2:15. Let her sleep a little longer
S 4:30 - 5:15 cn
Last bottle 7:15. Asleep by 8 back up at 8:40 and then t above times
Today is loooking exactly the same o I am worried

The routine looks great to be honest - I wouldn't have thought that was the issue....
Is she unwell or teething at the moment? Frequent night wakings can be related to discomfort. Was she waking crying or happy?
The other thing that springs to mind is that you are rocking her to sleep at the start of the night, and the frequent wakings may actually be due to that - in that when she comes into light sleep and briefly wakes (as we all do, though we don't remember it), she doesn't know how to get back to sleep without your help. The fact that she settled so quickly with a bit of rocking does suggest that it may have turned into a prop for her - what do you think?
Teaching her to sleep independently (if that is something you want to do, of course) will help with prop-related wakings, though if there is another issue like discomfort at play then LO will wake regardless.
Let us know if you'd like some more information about teaching independent sleep :)

Oh just spotted you have a post on the props board - will leave the independent sleep side of things to them :)

Thank you fr quick response. I suspected teething because of drool. As far as a prop, I was thinking that but last night was the first time in her life that ahe did this. Hopefully tonight will be better
