Have posted many times about my constantly waking DD... Am so so disheartened this week as we had a few days of progress (two nights in a row of 7-7 with just one waking for a feed in the middle!!!!!!) and my hopes were raised... Now we are back to her waking at 11, 2, 4,5...
I am just so desperate now :( She is 7.5m and I have only broken the 5 hour mark of sleep for myself twice in all that time.
She has a tummy upset at the moment so isn't eating much which may be partly the cause of the depressing regression... Or maybe it's not a regression and the couple of days of good sleep were the blip!! (Please god, no)
Thing is that often she isn't actually waking herself but she is shuffling and crying in her sleep which wakes me. I would leave her as she is not awake but most often when I do that all that happens is she wakes after 5 mins and then it takes me half an hour to get her back to sleep so I would rather dash in and try to soothe her fast before she wakes properly.
Anyway she seems so uncomfortable at times (crying in her sleep etc) that I am wondering in desperation if cranial osteopathy may be worth a try. I am a big sceptic in general but will try anything at this point!!
She is teething hideously badly so this could of course be the reason she is stirring so often at night.
But even so, CO couldn't hurt, could it?? Any success stories, just so I can pin all my hopes on it and then get even more depressed when it fails?!?
And could it make her worse...??
