When you go to him/her is she fussing or crying? Or is it a mantra cry?
What have you tried to settle??
She has always woken up once a night at around 5am (when we were on the 7-7 schedule). We would feed her, change her diaper and then put her to bed and she would fall asleep with in minutes on her own. Lately I have been lessening the formula in her bottle so it's mainly water as she is not really hungry but it's just a habit. Well, the past couple of nights she has woken with not a hungry cry just a cry of sorts. After a little while I go in and try to give her a paci. That went on for about 30 minutes. Then I thought I would try and give her some water. She drank 4oz, I changed her poopy diaper (tmi, sorry) and then laid her down, but she would not go back to sleep. She fussed and cried off and on for another hour. I tried rubbing her head, belly, giving her a paci, holding her, etc. I even tried feeding her more formula but that didn't help either. Nothing would settle her and by now she was over tired, rubbing her eyes, etc. Eventually after almost 2 hours she past out....30 minutes before wake up time. I just don't know what to do about this waking. Nothing works and I can't do pu/pd because of my back. I am at loss. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
