Sleeping

doccas · Apr 13th, 2012, 02:20 AM

I feed my baby twice within an houir before she goes to sleep at night n y 7 she is asleep but has started waking up at 12 for another feed? She is 6 months old, has anyone got any ideas as to hoe i can get her to sleep through the night? i hgave also started weaning her thinking this would help.

Hello I don't think weaning necessarily helps them sleep-sometimes it can disturb them as their tummies are fuller and try can get wind - so I have heard. I think they sleep trough once they are ready I'm afraid. Are you in the UK? If so maybe worth asking yor HV for some advice?

Sorry I know I'm not a lot of help but I didn't want to read and run x

I had this problem around the same age , I found it was just growth and teeth . Weening does cause night waking for a while as digestion takes longer and wind etc . Is she hungry I know it's a stupid q but could just be normal waking so would need to be re-settled maybe with water ?

There is a 6 month growth spurt, so that might be it!
