DD settles easily and effortlessly each evening but wakes up every hour. When she wakes, she sometimes winges a bit then resettles herself, but more often then not, it escalates into full crying and we have to go in and resettle her. Resettling consists of getting her back from standing to lying down and that's it. She uses a dummy, but that's not the problem as she's usually still got it when she wakes. We've tried increasing or decreasing bedtime milk or porridge and it doesn't make any difference.
I took her to the doctor this week in case there is something wrong with her that I'm missing and there isn't.
We've tried one night of cc a while back and it wasn't for us- I don't want her to leave her to cry, although we always wait until grizzling escalates into proper crying before we go in.
She's been like this for a year now and it's a real struggle. I don't know what to do anymore. A good night for us involves waking 4 times and it's very rarely that good. Usually it's every hour and we end up co-sleeping.
She is so sunny and happy and easy during the day.
Doors anyone have any ideas why she is waking so often? I can't believe it's been going on this long. I've just always thought it would get better but now I'm just learning to live on practically no sleep and I can't cope anymore. In considering a sleep consultant if we can find the money, but just want to exhaust all other ideas first.
