Screaming every night and drinking up to 16oz milk a night!

[alicemama]

Well I thought my first post would be how to make perfect yorkshire puddings but thiss is way more important.

dd2 is up most of the night screaming at the moment. age 8 months
We have a good bedtime routine and normally goess down at about 8pm. But then annytime from midnight onwards she'll start screaming and I don't mean crying....she's screaming!
At first I thought that she wasn't well but have now ruled that out as this has been going on for weeks and she's fine during the day.
Has 2/3 naps during the day anywhere from 20mins to an hour and will go down fine.

She'll also drink up to 2x 8oz bottles in the night. Tried everything to try and get her to drink more before bedtime but sshe doesn't want to know. Triend a dream feed about 10 or 11pm but she's not interested.

So after another night of hardly any sleep, I REALLY need some advice. Me and dh are up most of the night between us and ass we're so tired we're starting to snap at each other, which as you can imagine makes matters even worse.

So PLEASE HELP!!

great alice and it's really filling aswell! All my bananas are getting ripe so quickly, I had to make banana bread with them yesterday because they were so mushy!

jambot, I was there from 92 to 95 - a bit later than most SAfricans because I was at a UK school for the last year (to do A levels) having previously done my matric in SA. Thought I would go to varsity in the Uk but ggrrr Maggie Thatcher had brought in a rule that if you had been out of the country for 2 years prior to applying for university (and I had for just 2 years), you had to pay foreign student fees (something horrendous like £10 -20k a year) so came back to SA and went to UCT.

I don't regret it for a minute - had the most fantastic time - looking back now, it was definitely the most fun I've ever had!
