10 month old waking up at night

My 10 month old is draining me and my husband! I can't not remember the last time we actually had a decent amount of sleep! Her routine is bedtime 7pm - 7.30pm in a dark room with a nightlight and white noise. She wakes up every night at 10.30pm and 4am every night with out fail. The problem we are having is it will take us 2 hours to put her back to sleep every time she wakes up even when giving her a feed! She has enough calories per day 3 meals a day with snacks and formula milk (which majority of the time she will refuse or will have around 3-4oz)

We thought it was down to teething, however her 2 bottom teeth have come through and 1 top tooth.

Schedule is as followed -

5.30am - 6am wake up (she automatically wakes up at this time)

9am - 9.30am 1st nap (30 - 1 hour she will wake up)

12.30 - 1pm 2nd nap ( 1.5 hour)

6.30pm - bath milk and sleep by 7.30pm

Is anyone else going through the same? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Breast feeding, perhaps. You would be killing two birds with one stone. She will sleep well after gaining the milk from your breast.

I don't breastfeed, she has formula milk

Just offer water at night rather than a feed.

Although if she's only waking twice and you took it in turns you would both get a decent chuck of sleep.

My DD did this til she was 12 months. Then we offered water rather than milk when she woke and after two nights of that slept through. Having said that I didn’t reliably get a full night without being woken up until youngest DC were 5.

If she takes 2 hours to put to bed after 4am wake is she then going going back to sleep at all if she’s waking 5.30am? So she’s just getting up for the day at 4am? If so then take it in turns for the early wake up each day.

I’d try pushing back the second nap slightly and bringing forward bedtime.

She will go back to sleep however she will wake up then for 6am - 6.30am, my husband and I do take it in turns but it's just draining
