For the past week Kayleigh has been waking at least once a night, its either once at 4.30 am, or twice at 3am and 5am. She always has a feed of 20-30 mins.

I'm exhausted 'cos on the days i'm working i'm up at 6am to express and she often wants a feed too.

I'm at a loss what to do.

Last night/today it was 3.30, 5.15, 8am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, 8-10pm.

How many weeks is she? Alex went through a massive growth spurt at around 15 weeks that lasted about a week, he was feeding really regularly. Hope you get some sleep tonight, I know how awful it is I feel bad for complaining cos I don't work! Alex and Kayleigh are really similar

Frankie is doing this at the moment, sometimes she sleeps through other days she wakes twice. She is eating 3 meals a day, but doesn't like haveing milk during the day and then drinks like a fish at night. She sleeps better atthe weeked than during the week when I'm at work.

She will be 15 weeks on Tuesday. I really hope it is a growth spurt.

She's still hungry tonight. Sh'e normally zonked by 10.30, put her down tonight and she's screaming blue murder, got her up and she's attacking me as if she ain't been feed for a week. Hope this means she'll sleep tonight.

I needed a caffeine drip on Saturday at work, i was shatterred. I was up at 2.30 and 4.30 then had to get up at 6

Lynnie, i sometimes think they can sense how u r feeling, and are aware that u more tense when working so play up more.

awww hun i hope it improves for you soon

I would say growth spurt to you too Caroline.

You poor thing,I know this is naughty but could she have some baby rice. I now give this just the once a day and it has made a tremendous difference,sleeping hasnt changed but then Amelia is lazy-bones like me but it has stopped the day time bertie-beetroots for feeding.

I do sympathise as i know when I go back in 7 weeks Amelia will start teething and have me up then all night lol if she is anyhing like her sister.

take care sweetie

Last night was no better, woke up at 4.15 for 1/2 hour feed, then again at 7.45 for feed for 1.5 hour. She didn't go down til 11.30 either.

This has gone on for a week now. She is due to see hv on Friday so if still unsettled i'll get OH to speak to her.

If she is still waking by the weekend (it'll be 2 weeks of waking at night) i will maybe try a bit of rice at tea time or lunchtime as she'll be nearly 16 weeks but will see what hv says first.

Caroline I have given Melie the Sunshine banana and she loves it also health visitor said good choice as Melie hates the baby rice (and who can blame her?)

I really hope things pick up soon and I truely believe this is one hell of a growth spurt.

Am hoping it is a growth spurt and settles soon , but i really can't cope much longer, next week i'm up to working 4 days a week.

oh poor you well hopefully all will be good by then I am crossing fingers for you. "kayleigh you go to sleep for your mum and be a good girl" Bet she will be good as gold when she is teething.

bex
