10 week old suddenly waking every hour! Help!

Our ten week old DD has, for the past five days, been waking every hour or hour and a half for a feed. She was going for 3-4 hour stretches at night and suddenly has started doing this. I am breastfeeding so DH can’t really help. I am utterly exhausted as at the moment I’m getting 45 mins to an hour between feeds. We have a bedtime routine established of bath, massage, cuddle, feed and bed and she goes down with no issues but is then awake in an hour.

Any advice? Any suggestions as to why she is suddenly doing this? She didn’t even feed every hour when she was a newborn so I don’t know why we have started this now! I am at my wits end currently after five nights of almost no sleep!

Hi op

My dd did this - every 45 minutes at about the same age. She was FF so I'm not sure it makes a difference. Is she definitely hungry and it's not that she just wants you or is uncomfortable?

Mine did this every two hours from around the same age.. 14 weeks now and her sleep is still haphazard! But I get the odd night she sleeps longer, now. I'm hoping it will level out soon as I'm exhausted...

Growth spurt. When they finish feeding try changing their nappy and then offering more milk. It may work it may not.

Sleep is not linear. It doesn’t just getter better. It gets better and then worse and repeat for years. The overall trend will be better.

Hi Op,
My DS did this too - cluster feeding / growth spurt / who knows.. for us it lasted for Months but I've known others how say it's just a short phase. No advice I'm afraid but just to say it's normal and you're not alone x
