Its normal for babies to want to wake up and play in the middle of the night!..you will go through plenty of days like that :) Try laying her on her tummy for a few and patting her butt, my babies always loved that, they would fall aleep fast, i think it soothes them! goodluck! :)

It's spring! Many kids (grown-ups too) have trouble sleeping over the next few weeks with spring coming. The best thing you can do it to feed her, then repeat her bedtime routine and plunk her into the crib. She may play for awhile, you can just go back to sleep. She may cry or fuss for a little while but she will get the message. This should pass (if you don't play with her at night) in a couple of weeks. Make sure she gets lots of time outdoors, or crack a window and get some fresh air during the day inside. This will help too. This may be a pattern she has throughout her life so finding ways to help her make the transition to spring/summer will help her learn to deal with it as she ages.

She's growing up. :) She might be going through a growth spurt. If it was teething she'd be crying but it sounds like she just wants to have some fun. :) I have a couple of suggestions. Firstly, as soon as you've fed her, burped and changed (if the last two are needed) then give her a cuddle and put her back in her cot. If she has a dummy then give it to her and maybe sit by the cot and hold her hand or gently stroke her cheek, something so she knows you are still there. Keep lying her back down if she sits up and talk really quietly. The second would be to pop her into bed with you and cuddle up and enjoy her while you can. :)

She is starting to realize that there is more going on outside the crib and wants to be part of the action. Try getting her into a bedtime routine, bath, read a book etc. My son did the same thing and he outgrew it. Good Luck.

I'd turn a mobile on over her head and quietly leave the room. She may "talk" to the mobile and ease herself back to sleep. Try not to feed her every time, because she'll get used to eating at that time and it'll never end.

Lack of sleep in children can cause serious
health problems.If parents follow some simple
techniques for making their children sleep,
it can be avoided. I found useful information

This is just something she is going trough. Do not let her cry, just be patient. My baby is 6 months old, he also had moments like this, than he was back to his regular schedule after few weeks.

I read somewhere tha once she is full you can give her water, eventually she will realize that everytime she wakes up she will get water and she will sleep.

when u feed her do u turn on the lights and feed her?
if u do than try feeding her in the dark and don't make eye contact or talk to her as she eats.

get her into a routine, i.e. eat, bathtime, play time, bedtime...after a while she will catch on! Good luck!
