6 month old frequent wakes

Recently my just turned 6 month old is waking every 30 mins at night and I'm at my wits end. In the past she'd do some decent stretches (3 hours ISH) and I could manage but this is torture. Sometimes she'll settle back to sleep with a dummy but usually I have to pick her up and rock her back to sleep, then transfer her, then she still wakes up 20/40 mins later.

At bedtime she falls asleep independently so I don't understand it?! Calpol didn't help so unsure if it's teething.

Is she cold?

Hey, wondering how you're getting on and if you found the reason for this/if it got better? My DS started doing this at 5 months after sleeping 7-9 hour stretches. It started the night before his first tooth erupted but then has carried on for 5 weeks and counting! He usually needs rocking back to sleep but then wakes again when he rolls on his front (he'd previously learnt to settle this way with no waking). Most nights there'll be one wake where it takes nearly an hour to get him back down. I do BF but not every wake, maybe every 2-4 hours. We're so so sleep deprived!
