8mth old waking every 2/3hrs!! HELP ME PLEASE
« on: September 04, 2006, 11:30:45 am »
hiya,

My 8mth old is waking every 2/3hrs and i'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tried my older daughter is starting pre-school at the end of the month so i would like to get my 8mth old to sleep.

I put her to bed between 6.30/7pm depending on how late her nap finished. 

i give her a bottle then whens shes finished this shes fallen to sleep but sometimes she needs her dummy.
she wakes at 10pm no matter what time she went to bed for her milk and then i'm up with her every 2/3 hrs after .
i have tried giving her water when she wakes but she just wakes up 30mins later crying coz she's got so use to the milk.

Theres no way she can be hungry as she has 3 meals a day with puddings. I cant leave her to cry coz i don't want to wake my older child up.
i dont think pu/pd will work as she is nosiy & will think me picking her up is a cue for her to be taken downstairs (used pu/pd on my oldder daughter with great success)
