Baby started waking through the night!

[BearRabbitPants]

Please can someone help me figure out what's going on with DD? She's 5 & half months old, has slept through the night 7:30-6 solidly for about 2 months now, until last week when she started randomly waking. She's bottle fed, and not hungry when waking (not interested in a bottle I've tried) she's moaning, banging her legs on the crib mattress, moving around loads & just generally being fussy. Last night was the worst she had me up at 12,1:30,3, 5 then woke for the day at 7. Could it be teething? She was chewing her fist and her comforter in the night so I gave her calpol, bonjela & teething powders, but she still woke twice more after they were administered. She's started draining her 7oz bottles so I've upped her to 8 now, do you think she may need weaning early? I'm just confused (and extremely tired 😓!!) I also have to get up and get on with parenting very active DS who's 3 & half ... so no time to 'rest' ... and I'm typically a night owl so hate going to bed early as I then miss out on my downtime & peaceful evenings lol. DH leaves the house at 6am for work and works till 5 most days & is also renovating our house as well - so is knackered & most nights falls in such a deep sleep he doesn't even hear DD wake! Altho last weekend he told me to wake him if I needed help & he also got up with her sat and Sun morning very early to let me rest.
I just want my baby to sleep through again please tell me it's a phase! I don't remember this with DS (probably mother nature's way of getting us to reproduce- block out the bad memories lol)

We went through similar, followed by another phase and another phase and another one! There's so much development that goes on at this stage.

We started weaning at 5.5 months and it did absolutely nothing for my DS' sleep, it probably made it worse!

Weaning doesn’t help most babies sleep through. It could just be a phase, she might just want you, some milk, a cuddle. It’s knackering but she’s still tiny, give her a snuggle.

I think theres a sleep regression around 5 months. She'll soon grow out of it

Yeah I gave her a little squidge and stroked her, shh'd her etc, put her dummy back in and settled her, it's just very draining.
I was thinking perhaps she's going through a developmental leap as she's just started rolling over back and forth and trying to sit up. Perhaps her brain is just too 'wired' to sleep right through at the moment. It's just difficult as I'd got used to having a good night sleep again lol 😩

My DD did exactly the same for about 3 weeks when she was about 6 months then it stopped as suddenly as it started. It’s a developmental thing I’m afraid, you’ve just got to try and roll with it!

I think I'd just forgotten about all these quirky little phases they go through! I'm sure DS went through the same but I'd mentally blocked it out 😆. Suppose I'll have to just give in and go to bed real early whilst she's going through it. And lay in at weekends when DH off work!

I'm afraid there may well be more of these phases to come. I learnt quite quickly to not get complacent or too used to a good night's sleep haha!! They come and go x
