Insisting being rocked all through the night !

[itskc1994]

Hello everyone,

Looking for advice , I have a 5 month and 1 week old Lo who insist on being rocked every 2.5 hours. I offer feeds and nope just wants me to lift up and rock.

She wakes up screaming (not a pain cry just using her vocal chords).

I haven't sleep trained, i co sleep safely. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I have always loved doing it with all my children. It also helps so I can get up and attend to 3 under 5.

I'm not sure if she maybe teething and no sure if this could be a reason why.

Is it just a phase ? Or something I need to try break ? And if so how?

Looking forward to everyone advice.

Thanks !!!!!

Is this a new thing then? So baby hasn't always been inisiting on being rocked to sleep?

If so, my first suggestion would be to significantly increase daytime calories. Because this might be due to calorie deficit. Try doing more frequent feeds, rather than just bigger feeds.
