Answer 1

Have you tried cosleeping? My son does that (waking up all night), then the next day or so he's sick, so maybe she's coming down with something and she wants her mama.

Answer 2

How old is your baby? If she is under 2 months, definitely try the Miracle Blanket as someone posted earler. If she is over 5 months, could she be teething? That will keep a baby up all night. Some even start teething earlier. Feel around and look for swollen gums. If teething is the case, get some Hyland's tablets. These usually work for my little one, although once in a while it's bad enough to call for a little Infant's Tylenol. Also, make sure she has a safe teething toy to chew on....this helps with the pain. If teething isn't what's wrong, my guess would be separation anxiety if she is old enough. Good luck!

Answer 3

It could be colic, or separation anxiety. Babies like the warmth of mom. For the first 2 mos of my son's life i had him wrapped up tight in his blankets and he slept in his cradle carrier on my chest. He was sleeping soundly by the time he was 3 months old only waking for feeding every 4 hours.

Answer 4

there is a new blanket out called Miracle Blanket. it swaddles the baby and is suppose to help them sleep. www.miracleblanket.com

Answer 5

maybe its colic or an ear infection.........maybe you should take her to the doctor..........my daughter had three tubes inserted in her ear by the time she was one.......
