6 month old wakes every 2 hours!
« on: July 01, 2015, 12:31:18 pm »
Hi everyone,
This has been going on for over a week now. My 6 month old was sleeping 7-11pm, feed, then slept until about 3-4am then feed. Over a week now she wakes at 10/11 to feed, then every 2 hours after that!!!
Her day goes as follows...
Wakes between 730/8am
Eats when awake
She can stay awake for 1.45 at a time and naps for an hour each time, sometimes more
Eats every 2.5-3hours and is actually crying from hunger
Bedtime is 7pm and goes down fairly well, so,ermines fights for an hour
Please help!
Thanks

She needs more A time hun: Average A times- BOOKMARK ME! she probably needs nearly 3hrs A time to be sufficiently tired by the end of the day to sleep well overnight.

When she wakes in the night, how do you settle her?

I have tried extending A time by 10 mins even and she freaks. Crying non stop for up to an hour. I settle her by nursing. I know-bad but I try rocking,
Pu PD but she cries so hard that she chokes.

She also eats really well during the night waking not just a quick suckle

I should also add that she rolls onto her tummy at night and can't get back over and thus is the main reason she wakes then cries for me to come roll her back. Then she can't get to sleep. During the day, I put her down awake and she falls asleep on her own-not at night!

Ok well if you nurse every time she wakes you will make a prop, right? She will come to need it.  If she's just waking because of rolling then all ton can do is wait it out - it is a phase and it will pass.
