Dd is 12 Weeks...we've had the usual issues ie. Not liking being put down etc but she's always only woken a few tines a night.
We have been putting her down about seven for the last few Weeks and she's doing it fine. She would go four or five hours before waking etc.
In the last week she's started off but lasting from ten till about two but then up every hour and half after that. Now she's not even lasting that initial longer bit, which I need for my sanity, and has so far been up at eleven and twelve and now at half one! I can't keep it up.
She its bf and taking a feed each time...I've tried feeding more often during the day but she's less interested and will go treetop hours

Oop sorry hit button by mistake.
She'll go two hours or more and even when I try to increase she's not interested. I can't sleep when she sleeps as during the day she's awful about naps and will only sleep on me. She does nap probably three to four tines.
We have a heater on so the bedroom is same temp.
Help!

Could be 12 week growth spurt or a sleep regression. Is she working on any big developmental stuff at the mo, eg rolling? That often stops them sleeping as their little brains can't switch off.

My DD's sleep went to shit at 12.5 weeks and we rode it out by co-sleeping and learning to bf lying down and DH taking her for an hour each morning before work so I could get a bit of rest without her attached to my boob. Then at 5.5 months I did very gentle sleep training to teach her to self-settle, moved her to own room and set some limits on how frequently I would feed at night, sending DH to settle at other times. Her sleep improved quickly at that point.

Could be a growth spurt I suppose but she hasn't upped the feeds during the day. She wouldn't go down after four so she properly came into bed...she was just lying there kicking and grunting...we have a bed nest but she only went to sleep lying on me. She had a feed at eight and is now crying and trying to sleep again
