Answer 1

My daughter is almost 2 and still wakes me up all night. I remember the days your talking about though. I had to deal with them. There was really nothing I could do about it. She cried and had me up all night, and NOTHING was wrong with her. It got better for a few months, and started up again. Now I think she probably has nightmares while she's sleeping. All I know for sure is I'll be glad when she starts sleeping through the night. I'M TIRED OF BEING TIRED!!! Anyhow, you can seek advice on http://www.babycenter.com . I used it during pregnancy, and still go there for advice when I need it. Here's a little info about your situation from the site:

6 to 9 months: Baby won't stay asleep
What do you do when your baby keeps waking up at night — and you know he's old enough to sleep all the way through? The main thing is to make sure he learns how to settle himself back down — by finding his thumb, for instance. By this age, your child will probably be able to soothe himself, but you may still need to help him develop self-comforting techniques. Most of the experts agree that you should try to avoid letting your child become dependent on external conditions — music, lighting, feeding, etc. — to fall asleep; if he does, he'll need the same things every time he wakes up at night before he can drop off again.

With both my girls, I found they would cluster feed around 10 or 11 at night. They'd eat every 20 minutes or so, but sleep longer at night. Doesn't sound like that is what is going on for you though. Have you talked with the baby's doctor? Doesn't hurt to get everything checked out. You need to take care of you. Is there someone who can watch the baby so you could get a few hours of sleep? I know how hard it is when you're exhausted.

I hear ya! Man did I go through that with my last son. Here's what I did with both of my boys. Have you heard of the cereal bottle? They make a bottle that allows the child to eat cereal through a nipple.... he may just be getting his fill on formula. If you can't find the cereal bottle, then make your own, put a slightly larger hole in the nipple, add a little cereal to his formula, it will thicken the formula a bit, hold the baby upright, as not to choke. Before they came out with the cereal bottle, this is what I had to do. It helped them feel full longer, so they slept a little longer.

Answer 4

Try keeping her active longer. Like play w/her before bedtime so she'll tire herself out. Put her down at a later time. Give her a full bottle w/some cereal or food in it.
I used to put my daughter to bed when I went- like 10PM or later. She would usually wake up when I did, which was at 8AM or even later. She was great. Some parents try to get their kids to bed at the same time everyday, but I find that difficult. If you are home and have the time to spend w/them at night playing around , then why not?

Answer 5

Well what is she eating now? she must be on baby food as well as formula. i would try to thicken her formula. i do with my daughter during the day she eats every 2 1/2 hours and at night before bed i give her a teaspoon of cereal to every ounce of formula she sleeps about eight hours a night and she is only 3 months old. it has worked for us. and maybe try gas drops my daughter has lots of gas and it keeps her up unless i give her the drops. hope this helped.

once you get a raffle, google "extreme intensity toddler". there is no longer something incorrect with those young ones (I actual have one) yet CIO won't paintings. they are alert and pay interest to issues around them each and all the time. have you ever seen introducing solids? If he actual lies down for mattress and wakes up it appears like he's making an attempt to sleep yet can no longer parent it out. My son slept on me on my chest for the 1st 3 months each and every evening on the settee, it grew to become into the only way he would relax. (Our naps have been purely like yours.) I went from the settee to the mattress, then rolled him beside me. Then from there we worked our thank you to the crib (purely final week.) try white noise, a fan perchance interior the room, a pacifier, or maybe pump and take a examine out ingesting from a bottle and notice how lots he takes in. no rely what, do no longer permit all of us provide you a tricky time for attempting something to permit you toddler be properly rested. permit me be responsive to if i will help further, I actual have been via this with my son, or maybe nevertheless he's napping especially lots now, i be responsive to that is going to probable regress back formerly that's accomplished. in case you could permit somebody enable you to and get some relax so which you will get refreshed....you on no account be responsive to what mixture will cause them to sleep! (try the automobile holiday, swing, bouncy chair, something to assist him stay asleep for an hour or 2.) And remember he nonetheless would desire to be hungry and would nurse. i actual do sense for you!
