I've been through the same with two babies, and once I sleep trained to get rid of the pacifier, those wakings stopped.<br /><br />Good luck, Mama!

I'm up all night still at a week short of 4 months for feeding and such n I know tired. But I also know its not forever, they grow out of it and so I roll with it easier because of that. Sending sleep vibesv to you and baby.

He's waking about twice a night and will only go back to sleep if breastfed. It's not so fun...<br /><br />I can only guess we're dealing with separation anxiety as he is very cuddly when I pick him up. That, and he's crawling and pulling up on everything and making more sounds everyday... <br /><br />As for your 6-month old... she could be learning so much that sleeping is hard for her? Staying awake because her brain is overstimulated?<br /><br />Who knows though. Babies are a mixed bag. <br /><br />As I type this, B won't go down for a nap (despite being exhausted and showing all signs) and is crying in his crib. 100% guaranteed he's standing up.<br /><br />Sigh.B.

Or, at least, I think that her poor sleep would coincide with irritable-ness at night if she was teething. Personally, I would trial one night of giving some Advil at that 2am wake up just to see what that does. I think one dose of Advil would be less of a problem then doing sleep training with an uncomfortable baby, and would be very helpful in helping you really get a grip on what the problem is. <br /><br />The other thing I would say, is to read the different theories before you try any of them, there is a lot of misinformation floating around out there. <br /><br />Another thing you might consider trying, would be to one night leave five or six pacis in her bed. Maybe if it is easy for her to find, she will just pop it in on her own? <br /><br />You mentioned that she was getting more solids during the day, and eating less at night. Try to see if she will take a little more formula during the day. Fruits and veggies don't have nearly the same amount of fats and calories as formula, so she may actually be a little hungry at night (even though I can see you are trying to rule that out by giving her the paci and bottle if she really asks for it - awesome idea, btw). So, maybe just try to add an ounce or two to her current bottles during the day, and see if that helps. <br /><br />I think you are doing great. You are really trying to figure out your baby, instead of just doing knee jerk reactions of "cry it out" and feeding, and I think that is wonderful. otdinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372342236233184206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831856940051820911.post-16739813862725887582012-12-23T10:47:35.389+00:002012-12-23T10:47:35.389+00:00I'm always reticent to give advice on other pe...I'm always reticent to give advice on other people's babies, but you did ask, so I'm thinking it's ok. <br /><br />I think you would know if she is in pain, or even uncomfortable. You say "making noises" and not "crying". I think you should trust your instincts - mothers are usually right!<br /><br />What you do about it is another question!Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.com
