Hi there, my little girl is 7 months and used to wake every 45mins to 1 hour t night. I could breastfeed her back o slep, put her down asleep and this would repeat all night. I started to get very unwell it was leading to depression I think, me and husband were constantly arguing from lack of sleep - she also used to "sleep" in our bed from 11pm. Baby was constantly tired as well.
Health visitor suggested controlled crying which we did nd t was worked amazingly. I never left her to cry for more than 1 min before I went n and picked her up and this never lasted beyond 8mins. She was sleeping 7pm -6.30am.
Recently she got I'll and has been in antibiotics so have been reluctant to let her cry at all but have been putting her down awake and she has fallen asleep no crying. The last few days she has been waking at 5am do gave her. Bottle nd he would o back to sleep...then it was 4am same thing, then 3am and last night 2am.
Should I still offer her a bottle or is she getting back into bad habits? She only took 3oz at 2am last night so clearly wasn't hungry.
In the day the has 4 bottles offered and she takes what she needs from this, 3 meals plus top up breastfeeds if she doesn't last between feeds. She is nd has always been on the 75th centile since birth so is clearly not going without and going without nd doing well weight wise.
Any suggestions are gladly welcomed.
