I'm completely exhausted with my 6 mo daughter. She has been in a routine from about 2 months until a week ago of bath, feed upstairs, fall asleep after the bootle, then I gently put her down asleep and she'd sleep from 7 - 7, with just one wake for a feed between 1.30 and 3.30, after which she comes into our bed (if I don't, she's restless and wakes constantly).
Last week, she just stopped doing this. I'm doing everything the same, but she's just not going off to sleep with her bottle. When I put her down, she seems asleep, but she's waking constantly. Last night, after her bedtime at 7, I was upstairs trying to resettle her at 7.30, 8.15, 8.45, 9.15 - I finally gave up at 9.45 and went to bed myself with her. But even then, she's taking ages to get back to sleep and is restless. She's up as usual for a feed, then she's unsettled from about 4ish, waking every 20 mins or so, until I give up at 6am and get up. I am completely knackered.
She's sleeping as normal during the day (although she's never been great at napping - unless she's on me / in the car or buggy, she won't nap for more then 20 mins). She has an hour or so in the morning, same at lunch and 30 mins in the afternoon.
I don't think it's teething - if anything, she's shown fewer teething symptoms in the last week than she had prior to that. I tried ibuprofen anyway, in case it was teething pain, but it made no difference. She's feeding plenty, clean bum, doesn't seem ill or in pain. Maybe the only thing that's changed in the last week or so is that she's eating a little more (she's actually eating a few teaspoons of food, instead of just 'tasting' it, iykwim), but she's still having the same amount of milk, so it's not hunger.
I'm tempted to try cc, because she doen't seem to respond to the PU/PD methods and patting/shushing her has never done anything. She just shouts and kicks about until I pick her up and rock her, or lie down with her in my arms. Please help - I don't know what to do.
