Title says it all really! My daughter used to sleep through the night from about 2 weeks old, then she had a bad cold and went straight from that into a sleep regression and then another cold. She's now 6 months and we've been doing bath, bottle (of expressed breast milk - she is current ebf), bed for the last few months so it's a well established routine. However she screams and screams every single night. It starts from after bath time when we get her dressed for bed, she calms down when she has her bottle then screams hysterically for anything up to an hour before she eventually goes to sleep after a lot of bouncing, shushing and usually ending with a breast feed just to calm her down. The majority of the time she will continue to wake up and scream every half an hour or so until around 11, then will sleep until maybe 1 or 2, wake up/scream and then go back down until 4 and repeat.
It's getting to the point where I am dreading every night because I can't stand her being so upset, I have no idea where to even start looking for help. We've bought some ready to feed formula to see if that helps although I know that there's no evidence to say it does fill them or settle them better but I'm desperate.
I feel so sad and desperate for help, am I allowed to text my health visitor? I have her number but only because she called me to arrange the first few visits, I've not seen her for months and am not expecting to until the 12 month check.
