Nearly 6 months and sleep has got worse :(

[Pez1515]

Hi,
I'm new to mumsnet so don't know lots of the abbreviations - sorry!
Just looking for some advice really, as feeling very sleepy...
My daughter will be 6 months old next week and up until now the sleep situation hasn't bothered me particularly, though she has never slept through the night.
The "routine" so far has been this :
During the day no set routine for naps, sleeping as and when, usually in car/buggy or after/during a feed.
At night we have been taking her up for a bath at about 6.30 since she was about 7 weeks old. After the bath I put her into her sleep suit and gro bag, put the song on Ewan the dream sheep, and feed her (she is breastfed). During feeding she always falls asleep and I have then been able to put her down to sleep for the night without her waking until about 2am.
However, last week two teeth popped out, and since then she has woken as I've put her down after her feed and then not gone back to sleep. I know that feeding to sleep is not a good idea, but as it has worked up until now I haven't felt that I needed to change it. She will then cry, and not stop until picked up. She is then smiley. Then when put down again she'll cry and arch her back and scream until picked up again. My partner managed to get her to sleep by walking around the room with her for 20 mins and we managed to get her to sleep that way, but I don't want to rely on that.

Any tips? Please help!!!

Yes we had this with DS at 5 months. He's a ways fall asleep on the bottle then decided he didn't want to do that so we spent a good half an hour each night pacing the bedroom rocking until he decided he didn't want that either.
Started by patting and shhing as we rocked for a week or so. Then started putting him in the cot after a bottle and patting/shhing until he fell asleep, we then progressed to a short pat/shh and leaving him. If he started to cry went back in and patted/shh for a minute and left again then repeated until he went to sleep.
Probably took three or four weeks but now he tends to go down ok.
There is still the odd night where he won't settle for a while but we still just go in and pat/shh. You're not supposed to pick them up and cuddle but honestly we did if he got really upset.

I drove myself mad reading every sleep post under the sun and whilst the above worked I firmly believe it's mostly developmental and they'll get it eventually but might just need a little help.

For the record day time naps are still all over the place as we're always out and about - sort of figure if he settles at night naps in the day can be where he wants.
Good luck OP
