My DD is almost 5.5 months. She's been a good sleeper in the main. Naps in the daytime, self settles when put in her cot awake & goes to bed easily at 7.30pm after feed bath feed. We do a late feed at 10.30pm & then she used to wake for one feed at 4am ish. She's in her own room & has only slept through once, but I was really happy & able to cope with only waking once to feed at 4am.
Two weeks ago this suddenly changed & she cries regularly in the night. Last night she cried at 9pm, 10pm, 1am, 2.30am, 5am, 6am & this is typical. She's not awake initially but crying in her sleep. Sometimes she get's very upset quickly. Other times the crying starts slowly & builds to a peak, when she wakes.
My DD is Ebf. She does not seem ready to be weaned (does not appear able to move things from front to back of mouth - never tried with food only calpol). Her teeth are giving her some discomfort but she's a very happy baby in the day time.
How do I stop her waking so much? How can I comfort her / stop the crying when she's actually asleep?
I'm so tired. I appreciate others have much bigger sleep issues but I am hoping to solve this before it becomes a long running thing. Thanks!
