I need of some sleeping tips for my my 6 month old.
My daughter was sleeping through the night from 2 weeks old. Then at about 5 months old she has decided not to sleep through and now wakes a minimum of 2 times a night. She also wont self settle. I have to sit on the ground next to her swing an rock her while she drinks her bottle to sleep for every sleep she has. Did any mums have this happen? And what did you do to get them to self settle an sleep better.

Wow sleeping through the night at 2 weeks old is amazing! and still only waking 2 times at 6 months isn't that bad either, I'm no expert but perhaps she's going through a leap/ sleep regression. My 8 month old is a shocking sleeper usually wakes 3 -4 times and she has never slept through the night. Has there been any change in her environment, moved house or having a guest stay can put them out of whack a little bit. I have no real answers for you as i'm sure you are already doing all the right things. Just remember it's a phase and it will pass, that's what i keep telling myself anyway. Good Luck!
Wow you're very lucky!!
My two both woke every hour for the first 3 months. After that they slowly slept longer stretches but even by two years of age still woke several times a night.
This is a baby.. She will wake whenever she needs to. Please just go with it, don't try to train your baby she needs you and this stage too shall pass
The bottle soothes her so I'm going to hazard a guess she's hungry. A growing baby has gotta eat. Maybe look into dreamfeeding.
