NW every 2 hrs!! Please advise!!!

[gruvyteacher]

My DD is 6 months old, we just passed the growth spurt and got a tooth. She has been NW every 2 hrs for a full two weeks.
Before the growth spurt she would sleep 4-5 hrs before the nighttime feed about 3ish, then she would sleep again until 8-830a to start the day.
Now she wakes every 2 hours after the dreamfeed.
She is a great napper. I sometimes have to wake her from her nap depending on the time. Naptime lengths vary from 1-2.5 hours.
We have been giving her some teething relief right before bed and sometimes in the middle of the night after she eats
I don't know what to do to get back on track for nighttime Undecided

OUR ROUTINE:
E- 830a (BF) 930 (solid)

DO WE CUT OUT THE CATNAP? [/b]
DO I TRY TO DO W2S AN HOUR AFTER SHE GOES TO SLEEP?

Any guidance would be appreciated!

THANKS,

What happens when she wakes at night, how do you get her back off to sleep?

[gruvyteacher]

usually it is just some patting and shushing. Sometimes she gets very aggravated and we have pick up to calm down. She usually goes back to sleep fairly easily, she just will wake up with in 1.5-2hrs later.

Do you shush-pat her until she is fast asleep?

Another observation is that even though she is napping well, her A times are on the short side for her age. You could try pushing her A times out a little - towards the 2.5hrs mark - do it gradually though, you don't want to wind up with overtiredness.

[gruvyteacher]

okay will try that (extend A times). What about the evening catnap? Do we cut that out? If we extend A times then will there be time for a catnap?

thanks

You may need to cut it out - will depend how her naps go. Remember, when you settle her at night, only shush-pat until she is calm, not asleep.
