For the last week my DD has been waking every 1 or 2 hours in the night, feeding very briefly (if at all; often she seems to fall asleep in my arms within a minute or two) and occasionally waking within minutes of being put down again; otherwise she'll be fine for another hour or two before the next waking. The longest stretch she'll go is usually the last one, from 5ish until 8am.
The crying is more of a whine and restless whimpering than anything particularly pained or panicked. It's really starting to take its toll, but I don't know what we can do about it as I can't figure out the cause. Teething? But then why does she settle so quickly in my arms? Growth spurt? But then why doesn't she feed that much?
It's very frustrating as between 4 and 6 months she was only waking up once or twice at most in the night.
She's never been a big daytime sleeper: she goes down for about 30 minutes in the morning, up to an hour at lunchtime, and another 30-40 minutes in the afternoon.
Any advice/reassurance would be HUGELY appreciated! Thanks in advance.
