Please help I'm really struggling to cope! My 6 month old baby was sleeping through till about a month ago (I felt so lucky!) but then she started to wake up once in the night again. This was fine, I breastfed her and she settled down to sleep again quickly. Once in the night turned to twice, then three times and again I was happy to breastfeed her and she would settle quickly. I tried to increase her milk feeds in the day to every 2 hours to see if this would help and it did for one night. But then she was back to waking a few times a night. For the past week its been unbearable - she wakes every half hour to hour, I feed her, put her down and she wakes again only minutes later. I've tried not feeding her but then she wakes even sooner. She was teething (at least I think she was, she had a sore bum and was dribbling etc) but these symptoms appeared to have eased off so I don't think its that? No teeth have emerged as yet! I started her on solids a couple of days after she was up all night (this coincided with her turning 6 months) but this has not helped either. At the moment I'm resorting to holding her all night, just to ensure she gets some sleep but I'm absoultely shattered and I don't want to form bad sleep associations for her.
I really hope you can offer some advice!
