Hi Mums!
I'm at my wits end with my 6 month old Daughters sleeping!
Since she was about 4.5-5 months old she has slept 7 hours until the last week she has been waking ALL night & not going back to sleep for hours!!
She had colic & reflux from 6 weeks but disappeared after 3 months!
I thought she might have been going through the 6 month growth spurt but now I'm thinking sleeo regression.
A typical night for us is a bath, massage, story & then a feed and by the time that's all done she is tired & we put her to bed awake & she is usually out within 5 minutes. She'll sleep any where fron 10 minutes to 2 hours and then stays awake anywhere between 2-4 hours! When she wakes up she yells, babbles & squeals and she won't go back to sleep.
If we leave her in her cot she then cries & whinges until we give in.
My husband is nightshift so sometimes he isn't around to help (tonight he's had her since 1am, put her back to bed at 4am & she's wide awake at 4:45)
I have 3 school kids so you could imagine how difficult it is with next to no sleep!!
She is BF during the day & has one formula feed at her last feed for the night & she is on solids
Please, please can someone help!?
I've tried everything and nothing is working!
My husband and I are bickering all the time because we are both getting no sleep & my other kids are always dealing with a grumpy over tired mum!
Daughter not sleeping!

4 month sleep regression. Can last for months.
Ride it out the best you can.
Or
Look up "the baby sleep company " on Facebook. Miracle workers!
Yep..my girl was a champion sleeper until she hit 6 months..she also had reflux but seemed to have a lot of wind pains around this time probably because of all the new foods she was getting used to..she would wake every hour. Sometimes even waking after half hr. I was exhausted to the point of getting tests done and everything..it eventually settled on it's own and at around 7 months had to do sleep training for a couple of weeks to get her back on track...I definitely did not b f her when she woke though..that definitely helped...she went back to being a great sleeper by about 8-9 months....babies!!! Gotta love em! Lol good luck! :)
