My great sleeper is no more. My daughter is 4 months old, but almost a month ago she caught a really bad cold. One night she slept her normal 7-8 hours then nursed, then another 3-4....then woke up sick. The next night was every hour, and that whole week was every 1-3 hours (at night). That first night being sick, she also swaddle weaned herself by having a meltdown until I took her arms out, and we never looked back.
She's been heathy for 2 weeks now (aside from minor stuffiness) and still is waking every 2-3 hours! The other night she slept 4 and it was a miracle. The thing is, she actually is hungry...she will nurse aggressively and go back to sleep.
What the heck am I doing wrong? Growth spurt that never ends? Regression? Still sick? Adjusting to no swaddle?
She doesn't wake herself up flailing or jumping (she's in our room so I've witnessed this). Just..wakes up. She also takes 3-4 40m naps throughout the day. Not willing to CIO yet.
