Hi everyone, please advise me I am so confused!
My DD is 7.5 months old. Before Xmas she slept brilliantly - would go down about 7.30 wake for a feed around 3/4am then sleep til 7. At Xmas she got a cough, followed quickly in the next few months by a growth spurt, a cold, a stomach bug & a tooth. So basically since Xmas sleep has been rubbish - lots of waking, cuddles, feeding, sleeping in our bed etc. There have been a few nights where she has slept well but most nights she wakes at least 4 times and for the past few days she's been waking every hour. I really try not to feed her every time but sometimes I am so tired I do it cos I know at least we will both sleep again for a bit.
I just don't know whether to ride it out and assume it's more teeth coming - there's a lot of drooling & biting going on- or whether we have got into bad habits and she has forgotten how to settle herself back to sleep? She is crawling now too and often when she wakes at night she's crawling around her cot or trying to stand up.She is on solids now, she has 3 meals a day and i protein her up in her evening meal. She is still having quite a lot of boob in the day as well. Should I increase the amount of solids I'm giving her? Should I cut down boob? I'm just so confused and so tired, I don't know what to do....
