Hi there - I don't know if anyone has any experience at this, but my DD started sleeping through at 8 weeks old and I thought we'd cracked it.
However, about 3 weeks ago, she woke not long after we'd put her down, proceeded to wake 7 times in one night and this has continued to wake between 3 and 7 times ever since.
She has a bit of a cold that she's been unable to shift and we think she's teething, and we've found that the only way to settle her, is by lying down with her and letting her b/f.
I'm worried that this will become a habit and that she will expect this to continue, but it's the only way that she and I get any sleep at all.
We've tried raising the top of the cot, snufflebabe, olbas oil, steam.... all to no avail and are struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Does anyone else have any experience of this or any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
