DD is 5 months old - she's got two teeth and is a fidget.
Although she's never been a good sleeper, she has definitely been better than her current situation. For a while she slept ok in her own room in her cot - took a while to settle her but then slept ok (2-3 hours) til she needed feeding.
I'm not sure what happened at about 4 months but it's all gone belly up... she might sleep for a bit in her cot at first but she ends up in bed with us, (she won't settle anywhere else) and after about half an hour she starts thrashing around and fidgeting and then does this all night. I've tried the four s's (shushing, swaying, swaddling and shaking lightly) and although that worked for a bit it doesn't any more... Swaddling sometimes works but not for long...
We've started weaning her but that hasn't helped.
I've tried cluster feeding her, even with formula and that hasn't helped.
What worries me is I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and I can't see how I can do this for the next month let alone the next year. I love her so much in the day but it's like she's a different baby at night - HELPPPPPPPP
