Hi there,

I am in need of some advice! My baby girl is 9 months next week and she has normally been waking once during the night for a feed. However the last couple of weeks it has increased to two or three times!!! She is fully breatfed and is on 3 solid meals a day.

I went to visit the clinic yesterday and the nurse suggested increasing the protein in her diet and also giving her a dreamfeed about 10pm. Well I did that last night and she still woke at 12 and then at 3. I gave her a feed both times but after the 3am feed she wouldn't go back to sleep for an hour. I am just so tired and I don't understand what I am doing wrong. By the way she got her first 2 teeth last week so I don't think she is in pain from teething. During the day she settles herself to sleep pretty well.

I am doing a 4 week prac for my teaching course in April and I am just hoping she will be sleeping better by then. Any advice would be appreciated!!!
