My DD is nearly 5 months old. For a long time she was feeding every 2-3 hours throughout the night, then she seemed to settle into the pattern of bed around 6-7pm, dream feed between 10-11pm then she'd wake between 3-4 am for a feed then wake between 7-8am. Great, except I started having trouble sleeping. I'd wake up wondering why she hadn't woken up to feed yet and panic that she'd stopped breathing. This then developed into me lying worrying before I went to sleep and needing to check her every hour or so. I think that she also started sleeping more deeply and stopped making all the noises she used to around the same time, which didn't help with the panic. She's now sleeping worse again, often waking at 10pm, 2am, 4am, 5am, 7am, mostly I feed her back to sleep, occassionally she just wants cuddles, sometimes I just stick her on my chest and doze with her lying there for the rest of the night (especially once it reaches around 5am). I could cope with this except I'm still struggling to sleep. I never manage to get to sleep before midnight and am often still lying awake at 2am when she wakes for her feed. After feeding her it sometimes takes me half an hour to get back to sleep, and then it's sometimes time to feed again. I am completely exhausted and walk around all day feeling like a zombie but the minute I get into bed the sleepiness vanishes. And I still need to check she's breathing every hour or so. Don't know how much longer I can keep going like this, and yet I don't know what I can do to get over it. Any suggestions please???
