Help! Back to night wakings

[Taler]

My DD is nearly 6 months abs for the past 3 weeks has been sleeping in her cot in her own room.

I of course accepted that there'd b a transition period where we'd probably take a bit of a step back whilst she for used to the change, but things seen to be getting worse instead of better.

It used to be that the best sleep she'd have in a 24 hour period was the one after the 6pm feed. She'd sleep so peacefully and we would always be the ones waking her for the 11pm feed. Never her waking for it.

Now though we put her down after the 6pm feed and within 30 mins she's crying. So we settle her again and then she'll cry again. It tends to go that way until around 9:30/10pm (ish).

And the cries are hard ones too. Like she's scared of something. She doesn't cry that way during the day when she has her naps. In fact she doesn't really cry at all and if she does it's generally a sister cry to let me know she's awake and to go and get her.

I would be very grateful for any advice/suggestions from anyone who's experienced the same with their LO.

Many thanks

Hi, has she started teething do you think? teething pain is generally worse in the evenings. Or have you just started weaning and she's getting tummy trouble or reflux? Just a thought.

Thanks for the reply. She has been teething for ever but still no teeth!!! Am pretty sure it's not the teething that's waking her as it's not a 'pain' type cry. We haven't yet begun weaning (starting this weekend - eeeshk!)

If you think it's emotional, as you say she seems scared, you could try Bach flower remedies. I don't know your stance on that kind of thing - but it worked well for us when my daughter had nightmares, and just generally with her clinginess.

Here's my blog post on it if you're interested. mydaughterwontsleep.com/2014/04/18/being-a-baby-is-emotional/
