6 month old waking at 3am- aaaargh!

[MrsVidic]

my dd was a great sleeper until her 3rd set of injections and now wakes most nights at 3am where I give her her dummy and she then settles for another few hours before waking anytime from 5-7am.

Why is this happening? She isn't properly awakes when shes making the sounds. Do i have to do CC - will it help?

tia

can she get her own dummy back in? If so then encourage that, perhaps?

If not I'd carry on as you are - much less work to stagger out of bed, replace dummy and go back to sleep than it is to deny dummy and endure subsequent inevitable screams.

CC is not recommended for babies this small either.

I need to do something its getting worse and I just want to scream today! She's now struggling to resettle with the dummy

not hungry, is she?

too small for CC, IMO.

My 6mo has at least one feed between 10pm and 7am.

I think MrsBadger is right about her being hungry.

My six mo wakes at least twice for a feed in the night. I veer between thinking I must be doing something wrong, how can I 'cure' it, etc etc, and just going with the flow. From reading posts on here, waking in the night is pretty usual at this age. Unfortunately.

I'll try to feed her tonight when she wakes- know just what you mean herbaceous- I'm so fustrated I can't cure it.
Thanks for the advice about CC - everyone at the moment is advsing me to do it and the thought of it makes me want to cry

Hi, my friend has visited a homoeopath about this as her child also started sleeping a lot worse after the vaccinations... apparently there can be a link. I think whatever remedy she was given did seem to work. Worth a try if you're into alternative stuff?
