(I posted this on another board as I didn't realise there was a sleep one so am reposting here) So my youngest has always been a pretty good sleeper until about a month a go.
She was EBF and woke maybe twice a night to feed and that was usually around 12 and 5am sometimes better.
For the last month she's been sleeping from 7 until 10 and from then until 5am she wakes every couple of hours sometimes it's every hour!!
Me and DH are knackered!!! We've tried everything we can think of!! We've tried a sleepyhead, white noise, night light, no night light, a fan, Ewan the sheep, comforters, feeding more in the day, putting her on more solids in a day, a bottle before bed (that did the trick with our eldest!)
She feeds every two hours in the day and has three small meals a day.
The health visitor said she thinks it's behavioural and she doesn't need to feed that much at night because she eats so well in the day. She suggested getting DH to go in to settle her so she doesn't smell milk which doesn't make a difference really.
She has a good bedtime routine with bath story and feed and she has two or three naps a day total lying three hours
I'm properly at my wits end now with a 2.5 year old who thinks she's 25 and a baby who thinks sleep is for losers!!
Has anyone got any advice that could help?? Xx

No advice I'm afraid, but sympathy as I've got exactly the same with my nearly 8 month old 
.
Tried Co sleeping too, as suggested by and cake, but didn't make a jot of difference. She wakes just as often and is just as hard to settle and I sleep even worse.
My 6 month old has just started doing this! Had dropped all but one night feed but now back to 3 or 4 
we've gone back to co sleeping and we're just starting solids so I'm hoping things will settle down again soon...
Thanks all! Last night was better!! She went back on the boob instead of formula....I used a blanket instead of a sleeping bag and played classical music in her room all night (when I went into her room to feed her it was like being sat in a really dark lift!!) and she only got up at half 2!! That hasn't happened in a month! But everything I've tried before seems to work once and then never works again lol so will see what happens tonight!
Sometimes it's just nice to know im not alone!
Winehound84 I normally leave her for a couple of minutes to see if she's going to give it some welly then I'll get up otherwise I hope she'll fall back to sleep but that hasn't happened yet
