Sleep advice desperately needed please

[LimesMum]

I posted last week but had no responses just trying again as any advice at all would be great!! She has now been waking for the day at 4am....

My 6 month old dd slept through the night from about 3 months with a dream feed and would also nap in her cot no problems.

For the last month everything has changed! As soon as I put her down awake in the cot she screams hysterically. I've tried leaving her for short intervals, patting, stroking, shhhshing but these all make her worse if anything.

It's worse in the daytime for naps, on a fee occasions she has self soothed at bed time (rarely). She used to go down awake at all sleep times, would play with toys and then nod off.

She is currently cutting tooth number 6 but there have been no problems with the previous 5. She has also learnt to sit and stand up and seems to do this constantly when awake in the cot.

When I've left her she gets into such a state and ends up crying so hard she vomits and becomes totally inconsolable.

She has been waking a lot more in the night but this has improved a little this week. She wakes at 430-5 for the day and it's exhausting me!!

If I feed her to sleep or rock her she is down in minutes and stays down for at least an hours nap so I've taken to doing this. DH is adamant we need to sleep train her and let her cry it out but he is at work all day and I can't explain how hideous and painful it is to watch her getting into these states. It literally happens as soon as I put her into her cot if she is awake.

Please can people share their experiences and tell me if I'm making matters worse by feeding and rocking to sleep?

My DS has never slept through the night but has also gone from being able to self settle to not
Health visitor thinks it's separation anxiety
I can't Help though I went for rocking him to sleep, we tried CIO and cc but I couldn't handle my hysterical baby !
With nap times I don't care how he gets to sleep as long as he sleeps so in pushchair car in my arms!
Hope you feel better knowing your not alone :)

Thanks, that is reassuring to know!!

This morning she woke at 4am again and would not go back to sleep until. 9am.... Again I had to rock her. During this time she was crying constantly unless I had her downstairs playing!!

I fed DS to sleep until he just stopped falling asleep (and then he'd happily lie in bed chatting to himself). I went back to work when he was 5 months so I just did whatever was easiest and whatever meant we all got the most sleep. Trying to put him down in the middle of the night without feeding was just traumatic for everyone.

So I say: feed to sleep, she'll grow out of it eventually. (He was over 2 before he slept through reliably though!)
