    Talking 6 month old- wonder week? fussy?

    so how has everyone dealt with the fussy period aroound the 6 month mark???

    DD was waking once a night for a feed, this has increased to twice since starting solids last week and was awake for 2 hours last night talking and squealing loadly.
    im not giving her solids today to see if that helps, but wanting to see what others have done etc.. and how long did the fussy time last???
    please tell me it gets better and not worse

    thanks!

    E does the night squealing. I only go in if she gets upset. She was doing it last night, and I must have fallen back asleep. NExt thing I know it was 9am!

    Lucky me has a fussy month so far!
    I think there's two top teeth coming too.

    We've always fed numerous times at night, so I can't comment!! Am currently trying to cut down to 2 feeds at night. I have found starting solids has meant less night feeds xo

    I found my son had about 3 weeks of unsettled nights right about when he hit 6 months. He went from feeding once per night to 3 times a night and, for the first time ever (including when he was a newborn) had a couple of nights where he was up for hours.

    Nothing I tried really worked (sorry ), but we did get through it. He also popped out 2 teeth just after, so I thought that might have had something to do with it. On the plus side, after another week of being back to 1 feed per night, he is now sleeping through

    Well you know from our buddy group Em has been unsettled, last night was good but prolly been roughly 3 weeks. Also coincided with around the same time as starting solids.
    Its hard to tell because wonder week 26 is roughly same time as starting solids and teething so who knows.
    As for the squealing well Em does that after night feeds ever since she could start making a noise!
