DD is 6months and has previously been a good sleeper, she has always woken up at 3am for a feed but used to go straight back down, now she is fussy with her bottle and tends not to finish it she still seems sleepy but wakes up every 15-20 minutes or so after that very distressed yelling at the top of her lungs and stamping, she seems to resettle quickly but 15 mins later shes up again!

Last night I took her in the spare bed with me (we would have her in with us but our bed is too teeny) and she did the same but was much quicker to settle and slept longer with my arm over her, but really really don't want to do that as a)spare bed is v uncomfy and b) miss DH!! Please help, I'm So. Friggin. Tired.

I may be flamed here but I would suggest that she doesn't need the bottle anymore. My lo's all stopped (or were persuaded!) to stop a feed at this age and after a couple of nights stopped waking at all. Not sure if you're willing to do this though - I did CC with them but it was very quick to work and they then went 11/12 hours from that point on.

I did wonder if she didn't need it but don't understand why she would keep waking

Could she be teething? DS usually wakes once in the night, but if he's teething it's more like every hour and/or he has a much lighter sleep (lots of tossing & turning).

hmm yes she is bit teethy, guess I just have to wait that one out?
