Which is a big improvement from her waking up every 2 hours crying and fussing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-night-wakingsfeedings-at-6-months#post-353588 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:24:24 +0000 loveisstrange 353588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: I know... my husband was away on business for the first 2 weeks and I really though I was going to kill myself. </p> <p>I think they make a lot of huge leaps around 6 months, so their sleep does suck for a bit. After her sleep fiasco, she finally started rolling both ways and is now very quickly on her way to crawling. She is also getting 4 teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-night-wakingsfeedings-at-6-months#post-353583 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:20:10 +0000 Freckles 353583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LC: I have no idea if she's teething but i guess no one ever knows until the teeth cut through!</p> <p>@zippylef: 3-4 weeks? gulp...shoot me now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-night-wakingsfeedings-at-6-months#post-353577 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:18:15 +0000 mrsjazz 353577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LOs sleep is not great since we moved a couple of weeks ago. She goes to sleep at 10 p.m! (Ugh) and wakes up a 1-3x at night to feed. I'm pretty sure she's teething (top two teeth). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-night-wakingsfeedings-at-6-months#post-353574 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:17:28 +0000 Freckles 353574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I'm looking at my notes, and i noticed that i've been bf'ing her less during the day. She slept a lot better when i first introduced solids, but maybe i just need to feed her more as she is a lot more active now? She gets about 2oz of food at breakfast and maybe 3-4oz at dinner. Does your LO wake up at all during the night now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-night-wakingsfeedings-at-6-months#post-353570 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:16:39 +0000 loveisstrange 353570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through 3-4 weeks right around 6 months where she went from 1 night waking to 5-6. She decided she was done with the swaddle (took 2 weeks to calm down) and then decided she was a tummy sleeper (she hates being on her tummy, also took 2 weeks to calm down). When it ended, she went to STTN 14 hours straight, 6:30-8:30.</p> <p>She recently dropped from 5 to 4 bottles a day also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-night-wakingsfeedings-at-6-months#post-353569 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:15:09 +0000 LC 353569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had some restless and wakeful nights right around at the 6 month mark... and then she cut 2 teeth and went back to sleeping like she usually does. Could your LO be teething? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-night-wakingsfeedings-at-6-months#post-353560 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:10:29 +0000 Mrsbells 353560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO turned 6 months this weekend and she has also been waking up more often for 3 nights in a row, but once i introduced solids she slept soundly so maybe she was hungry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-night-wakingsfeedings-at-6-months#post-353554 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 10:08:20 +0000 Freckles 353554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, i know i've been complaining about her sleep lately! :(</p> <p>Ever since i've started putting LO down between 7 and 7:30pm (her bedtime used to be 8pm) she's been waking up twice at night. Once at around 11pm-12am, and again at 3:30-4am. I know this is normal for some babies, but she stopped having two night wakings since the 4 month mark! </p> <p>Could she be hungry? She's usually still awake after bf'ing her the first waking, and she'll fall asleep on the boob during the second waking. I am currently feeding her solids twice a day (breakfast/lunch) and wonder if i should move it up to three times a day? I also noticed that i recently dropped down from 6 to 5 bf-ings during the day (7 feedings total in 24 hours)...could that be a factor as well?</p> <p>Fragmented sleep is just killing me. There's almost no point in me going to bed early because i'll just end up waking up an hour later! </p>
