What's happened to my good sleeper??? Help!

[Arimeh]

First thing I would say - 12 weeks growth spurt.

Hopefully it passes quickly!!

I didn't think there was a growth spurt at this age? Only at 4 moths.

Hope your right Mel. Getting very tired of only having 4 hours of sleep a night. Can't last much longer

[Arimeh]

Nope - there is one at 12 weeks too

I think we are going through a similar thing here too.

[*PinkLilly*]

That's no good. Miss M giving you hell too?

[Arimeh]

Not really tooo much hell

Nothin us mums can't handle huh?

(Although... with a demanding toddler - I have my fair share of bad days!!! lol)

Brock went through a growth spurt at that age & is going through another one now. He gets a little unsettled when he goes through one but nothing like that. I up his bottle by 50mls throughout the day while he's going through it & drop it back afterwards.

I also sleep him in a sleeping bag with a dummy & he almost always sleeps through. I've found that the cherry type dummys stay better in his mouth overnight than the orthodontic ones do.

Mel - I can handle it...just dn't want to. I like my sleep too much LOL

Satya - Unfortunately if I feed DD a little more she usually spews for the next 2-3 hours being so full. What I've been doing is feeding on demand so she gets a little more that way. Normally she will want a feed every 4 hours, sometimes she goes 4.5 - 5 hours (not too often at 5 tho), but now she is eating every 3.5 hours, sometimes 3. Also with the dream feed, she's getting much more than usual, but it's still not helping the current night time ritual. She's had 1 extra feed today so see how tonight goes. Wish me luck.

DD is also very picky with her dummies and HATES the cherry ones.
