DD2 just turned 6mo. Her 4m sleep regression was horrible but she started to get better. Then she hit some other mental development/leap and her sleep went to pot again. I think we are coming out of that but we are still struggling to get a 2 hour stretch. She will go to sleep feeding, then wake up after 40 minutes and need settled. And possibly again 10 minutes or so later. Then she might sleep 2 hours before another feed around when I go to bed. But basically every time she wakes up for a feed, she falls back asleep and I put her down. Within 20 minutes she’s up again. Settled again- then awake again 20 minutes later. Then we might get 1.5 hours before the cycle starts again. So 6 months in I’m still up 7-8 times a night.
I don’t know what’s causing those 20 minute wake ups but they are killing me. She isn’t burping, but that’s not new. She does sometimes seem windy but not always. It’s not her dummy, sometimes she has it sometimes she doesn’t. I don’t always feed on the resettles but sometimes I do as it’s just faster. She also won’t immediately take a dummy and always needs picked up.
This is complicated by building works being done in our house which mean DD1 has no door just now, so I can’t really let DD2 cry in the night... so while I know DD2 needs sleep trained, I’m not entirely sure how to go about. I’m thinking I need to wean her off feeding to sleep?
She is EBF and we’ve started weaning.
