Just had our umpteenth night of mad sleep pattern. Great stretches of 4 and 3 hour sleeps between 7pm and 3am - then it all goes horribly wrong!
Even after taking a full feed at around 3am, from then on she wakes up every 45-60 mins without fail. I know she can't possibly be hungry because she takes a full 4.5 oz of expressed milk in a bottle at her 3am feed (fed her from the bottle to satisfy myself that she was full up!).
Have tried to get her back to sleep with her dummy (bad mother I know...) but she simply won't settle. Only way to get her back to sleep is on the breast.
Have done all the usual checks - nappy, wind, too hot, too cold, but nothing obviously waking her.
As you can imagine I am dead beat...anyone had a similar experience? DD is 6 weeks old by the way.
