My DD is 4 months old and having sleep issues. Up until a couple of weeks ago she was sleeping in her cot next to the bed with only one or occasionally two wakes during the night. During that stage she would only half wake to feed and go straight back into the cot no problem.
Now she is awake 4 or 5 times through the night and seems very windy - she quite often farts herself awake! She is also sleeping restlessly and quite often wakes when I try to put her down. I have tried leaving her and shushing but she won't settle unless I pick her back up, let her suck a bit and start the whole routine again. This can go on for two or three attempts to put her down before I manage it. I have resorted to bringing her back into bed with me a couple of nights just so I can sleep, but only because DP is away. He is such a heavy sleeper that co sleeping with him home is not an option.
Her naps during the day seem much better, she drops off easily and sleeps for roughly 45 mins usually 4 times a day. So, two questions really! What am I doing wrong at night that's making her so unsettled? And how can I wean her off feeding to sleep and introduce a new sleep cue? She won't take a dummy.
