When I brought My baby home from the hospital she got into a routine very quickly, waking up at 12.00, 3.00 & 6.00 exactly, every night. When she has a growth spurt she woke every two hours & the same after she had her injections.
Now i'm tearing my hair out because I'll put her to bed at 8.30, if i'm lucky she'll sleep untill 12.00 then be up every 1 1/2 - 2 hours, other times she'll be awake at 10.00 then I'll be up & down all night. I know she is not having a growth spurt & it's been a while since her injections. I've tried many things but to no such luck -
1) Giving her a large bottle of formula instead of breast feeding.
2) Getting her to bed later than usual
3) Lavender drops on her pillow
4) Lavender drops in her bath
5) Massage before bedtime with lavender oil.
At 16 weeks I'm not expecting her to sleep through the night, I just want at least 3-4 hours straight sleep a night!!!
Does anyone have any good suggestions?
