Oh you poor thing. I really feel for you, lack of sleep can make you loose your mind.

My DS would go through similar stages but it would usually coincide eith either teeth erupting or just before he came down with a sickness. Is there anyone you can get to help you out for a few hours so you get get a bit of uninterrupted sleep?

It sounds as if she is having difficulty self-settling and is stiring in the first part of the sleep cycle. Do you co-sleep? At around about 5 months when DS was waking constantly I started co-sleeping and it worked really well because I could help settle him before he fully awoke.

Perhaps you could just start from the beginning and help her re-learn how to settle. Go in and watch her, as she seems to be rousing (so about the 15 min mark) sing to her, pat her bottom, stoke her hair (whatever you do to help her) and hopefully she will not fully wake. As the days go on, reduce the amount you do to help her fall to sleep and hoepfully she will learn that she can fall back to sleep without mumma having to help.


It really is tough being that tired. I remember it all to well and I hope you get some sleep soon.
