Sorry for my dramatic thread title, I've had under 3 hours sleep & feeling a bit loopy!
My DD is now nearly 15 weeks, until she was 13 weeks she slept fantastically, from around 7/8 weeks she was sleeping 9-9 with a short 10 minute feed between 5&6 some nights she dropped this feed completely but slept through till 8, there I was feeling smug that I was getting such a fantastic nights sleep but oh my it has all gone to pot!
We're on several wake ups a night now & she will not settle at all after them, takes a good hour or even two sometimes. Some nights over the last two weeks she's take 4+ hours to settle, I feed her to sleep usually bad mummy but if she wakes up when I put her down she'll often self settle, the last two weeks it has been screams after about 5 mins of being put down about half the nights, the other nights she goes down without a problem but is awake an hour later.
She'll then be up anywhere between 3 & 8 times a night before finally deciding it's playtime between 6/7. I wouldn't mind the wake ups at all if she could settle quickly like she used too afterwards but now I have to sit over her holding a dummy in her mouth as she won't suck it on her own or keep cuddling her till she falls back to sleep, some nights it can take hours & by the time I've settled her I'm so over sleep myself thus only have around 3 hours a night.
She doesn't nap in the day at all, I've just come to accept that now. I think she's got reflux which I'm calling HV about today but she doesn't seem as bad at night. I also think she's teething already & can feel them under her gums, I'm using Bonjela & Calpol for this.
A thought occurred to me last night however that could she be too cold? To sleep she wears a vest, sleepsuit & 2.5 tog gro bag & room temp is between 16 & 18 degrees which is right by all the books & info I read. Would I be wrong for getting a 3.5 tog gro bag? I don't want her to over heat but when I put her in bed with me last night she slept better (my thought is because of body heat), I didn't as I was that panicked about rolling over & hurting her.
I don't know if that makes sense, I'm that tired I can't even be bothered to read it back through but wondering if anyone has any advice or similar experiences?
