My daughter started sleeping 6+ hours a night when she was a few months then all of a sudden last month started waking up 3-4 x a night she is 8 months now and should be sleeping way more then that! I'm so tired! I have tried skipping evening naps, I have tried feeding her cereal right before bed, I have tried keeping her up later...idk what to do anymore! She wakes up to eat some of her bottle (she will drink 2- 6oz bottles sometimes) I'm at a loss and so tired my bf will not wake up with her, even on weekends when he has no work..he has never woken up with her not even once...someone please help I'm willing to try anything! Btw the longest she has slept in a month is 4 hours! Just doesn't seem right for an eight (almost nine) month old...should I take her to the doctor?

    My daughter is doing the same thing! She was sleeping through the night since 2 months then all of the sudden she stopped and wakes up 3 times a night. She is almost 5 months. I hope you get some good suggestions

    Yea I'm a single mom and I'm in nursing school so its tough. I feel like I've tried everything and nothing has changed in her nighttime routine. She is sleeping worse now then she was when she was a newborn and it sucks.

    Try doing a sleep routine. For my lil girl i first i give her nakie time and pay with her, then i feed her, then i give her a bath (every other night) then put her jammies on and wrap her up and read to her. She usually falls almost by the end of the story. Then i lay her in her bassenett, turn a lullaby on and turn out the lights. She goes right to sleep and stays asleep. :) shes 3.5 months
