GO TO SLEEP BABY!!!!

Ok, we CAN'T figure this out, maybe you can help. Our 7 month old DD is a horrible sleeper at night. She takes 3 naps a day usually around an hour each. In bed around 7-7:30. She is waking at 10:30, 2, 3 and up for the day at 5 She usually goes right down for all naps and bed without much protest, we did CIO. Its the night wakings that are killing us. Around 3 am she will have 3-4 ozs, thinking I have to cut that out, but she won't take a pacifier so the bottle sooths her, tired water too. Of course it could be teething or a milestone approaching, but we are at a loss!!!! Any thoughts are appreciated! Sorry so long.

Ugh. That's rough. My advice would be to cut out the feedings. She doesn't need it and should be getting enough calories during the day. The longer she has that feeding the more dependent she will become on it to get herself back to sleep. It could be a wonder week (development) or teething pain. If she was legitimately hungry for that bottle she would take more than 3 oz IMO.

It could also be a phase and she will grow out of it. We have a 6 mo dd and she gets her bedtime routine/bottle starting at 7, out by 730. She will wake at 6, take a 6 oz bottle and go back to sleep for 2 hours. We didn't do anything tho. She just did this on her own. We do baby led

Is she eating 3 meals a day? My baby was getting up 3x (thru out night) & cut one s out once she started solids. Try feeding her before bedtime routine starts. Maybe rock her during 2 or3 am wake up...its TOUGH when ur tired & half asleep.
My baby is 6,5 mnths goes to bed 7-8pm gets up appox 11pm 2pm then up for day @ 6 am

Re: GO TO SLEEP BABY!!!!

Thanks ladies, yes she is eating 3 meals and I'm going to cut the bottle out at night. Hopefully something will help!

Re: GO TO SLEEP BABY!!!!

She's probably waking out of habit. Definitely cut the bottle. When I cut my girls 4:30 bottle I'd go in and sleep on the glider so they would know I was there and they were calmer. It took a few days but it broke the habit. Now if they wake before 6 I shhh through the monitor and it usually works.

Re: GO TO SLEEP BABY!!!!

I would cut out the third nap and not go in at all when she wakes at night. I'm a mean mom who believes in sleep training. But I also have a kid who now sleeps 12-13 hours a night without making a peep!
