Waking literally every half hour

I don’t know what’s wrong 😭
Checked her nappy, fed her, gave Calpol, checked under her PJs to see if she’s hurt. No temperature. Not really teething (top ones are moving but way off erupting)
She keeps falling asleep, waking herself crying and uncomfortable wriggling around. Then if I can actually get her to drop off, she wakes up 20/40mins later.

Has anyone experienced this? What am I missing? What could be wrong that I haven’t checked??

How old is she we went through a horrible phase for a month or 2 when he kept waking himself up from what seemed like nightmares think it was around the 6m mark. Depending where she is developmentally it could just be her brain working without break to try and make sense of the world.

Or gas/tummy troubles is the other that threw us off, bit of gripe juice or infacol depending on the age helped with this for us. If in doubt gp/health visitor are good shouts xx

We are the same it's been about 2 weeks I think. He normally sleeps great but doing what your little one is. He has 4 teeth coming in as well. Won't have milk has meds amd a cuddle soon as he's in cot wakes up x

Joining the party too. I am currently up since 12:30am waiting for her to go back to sleep. She wakes up as soon as I move and screams her heads off. So enjoyable 😴

Just want to update you. The camamile bath worked so well abused two tea bags left in the water for 15 minutes then took them out. I bathed him 2 hours before bed because a bath has always made his sleep bad but went to bed as normal and woke for milk at midnight and streight back to sleep no resettling or anything needed slept till 6.30 and only woke because he had a dirty nappy x

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?
