Ladies,

I need some help please. My daughter has just turned 5 months and in the last 6 weeks or so has started waking alot at night time. She used to sleep from 7.30pm to 7.30am with once wake for a bottle at 3-4am. Now she wakes every 1.5-2 hours.

the last 2 nights its been every 2 hours and wakes up for the day around 6.00-6.30am. the night before that she only woke up once. Have no idea what is going on with her.

I tried to take the dummy away as I am told this could be causing the problems. But she went completely hysterical when I did some controlled crying and couldn't listen to her cry so I gave it back to her.

I have even started her on solids as was advised by the health nurse she could be hungry. I am also giving her teething liquid in case it is her teeth.

Can anyone tell me if they are going or went through the same thing and how they coped. Feel very sleep deprived at the moment.

thanks heaps
