    My DD is way older (3 years) but she is waking up at night at the moment.......... I am putting it down to hot weather!
    Your bub may need the hydration as it is hot, or maybe it is just a phase. I know with DD2 she slept perfectly from 9 weeks-5 months, then teeth hit, then a cold etc and we didn't re settle properly until about 8 months. I think alot of them go through that. Hope he starts to sleep better again soon. xo

    Hi! We are in Melb too and I have a 14 week old boy, he is doing the same thing, I'm guessing it is the hot weather. Do you co-sleep? If not maybe just for the next few nights have him in bed with you and feed while lying down. Much easier. Hope that helps.
    Its sooo hot here already and its only 9am!

    My DD is waking at night at the moment as well. I havent figured wout whether it is because of the heat or because her starting child care has totally messed up her routine.

    Lately though it has been hot during the day and cool at night, so when dd goes to bed we leave her uncovered so eventually we know she will get cold and wake up so we have to cover her. But she is sleeping very unsettled as well. Rolling and wriggling around, normally she wont move most of the night so maybe it is the weather.
