I have a 6 month old baby, she has never slept through the night, in general she isn't a great sleeper..
She goes down around 7pm then usually wakes every couple of hours for a cuddle, dummy or a feed and usually goes back to sleep.
However, the past 2 months she has been wakening every hour from going down at 7pm. She seems really fussy and agitated when she wakes up. I know it isn't hunger as she can't possibly need fed every hour. I give her a dummy, cuddle, white noise, make sure she isn't too hot/cold, hold her hand, sometimes bring her into my bed.. nothing seems to be working. I've tried the CIO but I can't at the moment as I think it's discomfort so I don't want to leave her to cry. When she wakes her eyes are still shut and I can tell she is trying to get back to sleep but something is making her uncomfortable.
She is such a happy content baby through the day and goes down for naps no bother. The doctors don't see any concerns either and aren't helping, hence why I'm now asking Mumsnet.
She suffers with acid reflux and I am aware of the 'acid dump'. I know she has a sensitive gut in general and suffers with constipation. I think it could be a mix of these problems. I give her cooled boiled water or herbal teas to help with her tummy too.
Does anyone have any remedies or suggestions to get her to stay asleep for longer? Or to help her discomfort? Both her and I are so exhausted during the day with not sleeping at night.. I feel like a zombie!! Any help would be appreciated!
