My daughter has just turned 7 months and has gone back to cluster feeding & waking a lot during the night, has anyone else experienced this? This has been going on for a good two weeks now.
We thought we were finally getting her to sleep through the night then she sprung this on us. L goes to bed at 7pm and has been waking hourly until 10 or 11pm and then goes on to wake again between 1am-2am and then between 4am-5am. She is doing so well on her solids and we are up to 3 meals a day around 1/2 - 1 cup of food at each meal, I was hoping her sleeping would improve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ------------- http://lilypie.com">

DS has just started waking heaps more and feeding more in later afternoon so will be watching with interest. Was up over 6 times last night, although he is teething atm this started early last week with 2-3 wake ups a night. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Lily did it too, but for her it was just separation anxiety and the comfort from knowing I was there... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

both my boys did this it was just a phase and passed Thank goodness!
I gave lots of cuddles and i found leaving a item of my clothing in the cot like a top that smells like me was a great comfort. DS2 still likes to snuggle into my or my husbands t shirt. I suppose it's just reassurace that we are still around even though not in the room. It's prob a bit of separation aniexty or could be teething? hope it stops soon! -------------

| Their sleep cycle change and they become more wakeful as they get more aware what they are up to. We had this, took a bit of work but eventually sorted it. |

Thanks everyone, I glad we are not alone in this. I think it is def a bit of separation anxiety, we had a terrible night last night I was up about 4 times and L took a good 1.5 to get back to sleep at 4am this morning .... a shame I hadn't looked at your replies at that stage. I am going to give the clothing a go tonight thanks LJsmum.
DH tries to comfort her but she gets so worked up until I grab her then she seems to calm down until you try and put her in the cot. I gave her a bit of water in case she was thirsty but her cries are not hungry ones I think she is just after comfort. Hopefully we have a better night tonight. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
