I'm sorry I don't have any advice except to ride it out. Not very helpful I know. I do know what you're going through cause DS was never that good a sleeper to start with and he is waking heaps atm too.
I wonder if she's about to make some kind of developmental leap, like crawl or something? Often sleep goes out the window before a major milestone is reached. If she's already crawling it could be that she actually needs the extra food overnight, even though you're getting heaps in during the day too.
Have you got a good mate or family member that could stay over one night a week and get up to do those feeds for you so you get at least one full nights sleep? I dunno mate but I hope you start to get more unbroken sleep soon
If she's guzzling whole bottles then I'd guess she's hungry. Probably a good proportion of 9 month olds do need milk during the night still, so it's not that strange.
Maybe you could try to fill her with longer-lasting, low-gi type foods... I dunno, DS needed to eat during the night till 18months...
has she just started crawling or walking along furniture? It could be that she is just working a whole lot more and needing some extra feeds. Hopefully it passes soon, have you tried water? She might be thirsty or if it is a habit then offering water might make waking up seem less attractive than a bottle if that makes sense?
thanks guys, no she isnt crawling yet, but since yesterday has just started rocking on all fours....XP has her 2 nites a week so i guess i really cant complain, just getting broken sleep drains me so much i cant do anything cept the basics (clean house, feed DD) all week
