6 month old is up every 2 hours
« on: January 07, 2013, 23:32:17 pm »
My 6.5 month old is up every two hours in the night this started at about 3 months.  She goes down fine, but then wakes up and cries and cries and cries each time she wakes. I've tried feeding her when she wakes, and this will sooth her, but shes not hungrey.  If she doesnt feed to sooth she will cry for as long as I let her 2 hours plus.  She takes 3 naps in the day only about 50 mintues each.  Shes a really bad sleeper but other than that is perfect she is in great cheer all day until it comes to sleeping.  She is on solids and I have tried to top her up with formula to prevent her waking but nothing has worked. Any advice??

Hi there!
Can you post your day in EAS format -- like this?
E -- time she eats, how much, etc
A -- how long she's up
S -- how long does she sleep for
...and so on?

Also, does she fall asleep independently?  Or does she get rocked, fed, etc to sleep?
