DD is now seven and a half months. She had got into a blissful (for me) routine of going to bed at 6.30 then sleeping through till 7. That was until her last set of jabs then she suddenly wouldn't settle until around 9pm and would wake 2-3 times per night and only go back to sleep once she'd had some milk (she is combination fed with formula and donated breast milk so it's from a bottle). That continued for a few weeks until the last fortnight where her sleep has progressively got worse and worse. She doesn't settle until late, wakes up about three times before I've gone to bed myself at around 10 (goes back to sleep if I pick her up and rock her at this stage) but during the night she's waking up around every hour and a half and will only go back to sleep if I give her a bottle. I know she's not especially hungry because I've experimented and found it makes no difference to her whether I give her 1oz or 4oz each time. What can I do? I'm single so it's always my turn to get up and the sleep deprivation is starting to really take its toll...
