I'm sorry if there is already a post like this, but I really don't have time to look ( I'm using dial-up), and I'm at my whits end.  I need help!  ???

My DD was sleeping through the night by two months but that was short lived because when we went away for 3 days to spend Thanksgiving with family my DD stopped napping normally (went down to 30 min erratic naps) By Christmas she started waking up once during the night. At first I could just hold her back to sleep, but then we moved on Dec. 28th .  In the past 2 weeks She started rolling over and staying awake longer, so I switched her to a 3 ½ hr. EASY.  But then she stared waking up twice at night and crying like she was starving… so despite my fear of accidental parenting, I’ve fed her.  I suspected a growth spurt the past few days so I bumped up her feedings to every 2 ½ hr. for 2 days to boost my milk supply (she’d still wake up during the night), but today I’m back to the 3 ½ hour EASY.  I just can’t figure out why she’s waking up at night… it doesn’t make sense that she would be hungry. BTW I BF
