I don't like Tressilian.

Isla is the same age (there abouts) & she would wake probably twice a night still for a BF. We co-sleep so its not a issue.

How do you feel about letting her cry? It sounds as though your not that keen? I personally would like to suggest you try something a bit more gentle. After all, a baby will cry because they need you, want something etc & if you don't respond to that need then your letting them down(well thats how I see it). Maybe you would like to try weaning her off the bottle by replacing any milk with just water. Offering other means of comfort, such a patting or rocking etc. I don't believe its something that will happen overnight but over a week or so you should be able to help her settle with out the bottle & then help her settle with just patting or something. Then hopefully she wont wake at all or will be able to settle her self.

I have always co-slept so not sure if any of those suggestions will actually work, but its how I would approach it if I wasn't happy with how it works in our house.

Is it possible that she is teething? Is cold? Hot? Try to suss out any other reasons for her to be waking if you are sure its not because she hungry. The fact that she kept waking after the dummy was put back in place makes me think she was waking because she was possibly hungry. Or it could be pain related (teeth) or uncomfortable in some way (hot/cold etc).

I know it can be hard but try & remain calm & just work through the possible causes for her to be waking more frequently. She is a age where babies do become a bit more clingy, so maybe she is just waking in need of some extra comfort to get her though to that next sleep cycle.

I know Isla has trouble getting though the first sleep cycle, she will go down & I can time it that she will wake about 40 mins later & will need some help to get back to sleep, usually another BF.

I am pretty used to working on only so many hours of sleep though so it doesn't bother me much.

Good luck though, I hope you find something that works.
