    it sounds tough. I have had my *moments* and yelled too. It sucks.

    I am inclined to think she is sick or teething. Waking so soon after self settling sounds like a pain of some sort. Have you tried baby nurofen? (panadol did nothing for us)

    Otherwise a trip to the GP may reassure you its not a UTI or ear ache.

    I always find in crisis points like this to give into them until you can think of an alternative. So, I know it is hard, but put her in your bed, and maybe shift DH out for just a few nights, until you've all had some sleep and then think about it. Co-sleeping is not for everyone, but for a week its not going to set up bad habits, and might just give you all a break. Afterall, your relationship with DD sounds like its suffering, and you might both benefit from the extra cuddles (I speak from experience on that front).

    Awwww honey.

    She's not constipated is she?
    I'm thinking if she is constipated, then maybe she's waking coz she has pains.

    Chucking?
    Maybe a bit of reflux.

    Does she sleep on her back?
    Maybe she would prefer to sleep in another position.

    How much is she drinking per bottle during the day? How many solid meals is she having a day?

    U know my number if you need to have a vent. I'm always here for you hun.
