OK, the last few nights have been just as bad.... she has woken at 10.00, 1.00, 4.00, 4.30, 5.00, 5.20, 5.40, 6.00 then started the day at 6.15
This is so exhausting as I literally just doze back off to sleep for a few minutes and she then starts crying again. Also, I have had to go back to work and I don't feel I can continue getting so little sleep and having to be in the office for 8.00am.
I have tried burping her really well after her night feeds, I manage to get a burp up but she is still very gassy.
I am not sure if we have a paci issue??? She usually falls asleep with the paci for naps and bedtime, no issues with her waking when it falls out for naps and the early part of the night however, after the 4am feed when she is waking so much I put the paci back in and she falls asleep again for a short time (I'm assuming until it falls out), I then re-plug and it happens again.
Do you think I need to get rid of the paci completely to eliminate this as an issue?
I have changed the teat size in the night feeds but it hasn't made a difference, I have given her an extra blanket just in case she was cold - not made a difference. I have also started cluster feeding in the evening before bed.
Today, I am going to try and extend her activity time a bit to 1 hour 45mins as long as she has had a good nap before hand.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
