How to get baby to sleep through the night?

[CloeDee]

Looking for some advice help?
My we girl is 3 months old , she has colic so I have her on colif drops which do help her loads
the past week I've not been able to get her to go down to bed, I had her in a routine of bath, bottle and bed at 8 and the last week she's been wide awake to about 12 and she's waking up at 2 then 4 then 6 I'm so tired! When she's waking up she's taking a full 5 ounce bottle
Any advice on what could have changed she was doing great before?

Could be a number of things really! How is her daytime sleep? Is she getting enough/too much? Is she feeding enough in the day if she is waking up and demolishing bottles during the night? Could be a growth spurt? Could be the start of the 4 month sleep regression...

@cloedee , . I could have written this post when my daughter was 3 months old too . She is now 16months and in my small amount of experience (being a first time mum) the first year was by far the hardest in terms of sleep - or lack of!! I was constantly searching for sleep advice as the sleep deprivation is the absolutely worst thing ever and I don't think you can ever prepare yourself for how hard it is going to be.
I don't have much to suggest but wanted to comment to say that I promise promise it gets easier ! 3 months is only just coming out of the newborn stage , so your little one is still SO brand new to the world. My daughter needed her milk through the night right up until 10ish months. I read SO much that said how it's wrong to give milk in the night after a certain point / making rods for backs etc etc but looking back now that is all absolutely tosh in my opinion . Nothing I did has created a rod for my back and we now sleep all night comfortably . You will sleep again and it will get easier but in the meantime do what you need to do to get her to sleep- whether that's feeding or rocking or even bribing her back downstairs if still not sleeping . I remember it being up and down for the whole first year - some weeks were great and I thought I was doing okay and then following weeks would go downhill and I blamed myself - but actually I think it's just standard baby behaviour . It's bloody hard work isn't it!! You're doing amazing and you've got this!

Definitely make sure she gets enough sleep during the day. Make the room dark and quiet so she gets a good rest. That will help her stay asleep at night, although she’ll still wake up for night time feeds for a while yet! As others have said this is really hard work and you’re doing great! :)
