6Month Old Wakes every 3hours

[Travelling90]

Desperately need some advice my 6month old has never slept through, he use to go 6hours but when he turned 4months and started teething he wakes every 3hours. He wont settle usually without a bottle but barely drinks any of it..... sometimes a dummy works, if i leave him he gets so upset he starts gagging? Help

Yuck. I remember those days.

I read it takes 3 nights to make a 'new' routine. We stretched out the time back to 6 hours over 3 nights

It wasn't fun, DP and I took turns to walk round and calm her down, even when she was shouting I felt better she was at least being cuddled so not screaming on her own.

After 3 nights she naturally went more like 6 hours between feeds. At least mostly. There's no magic bullet, still had nights of 3 hour wakings but fewer of them.

It took until she was just over a year before she slept more like 9 or 10 hours

Lower your expectations and work out how to survive for a bit longer. I know you don't want to hear that.

Good luck. X
