I need help! My 12 week old has always been a brilliant sleeper and has slept through the night more or less since 5 weeks. She's been sleeping 7.30pm - 5ish. For the last 4 nights, she's been waking up between midnight and 1 then again from about 3/4am onwards. If I give her a dummy she goes straight back to sleep, until it falls out so I'm spending most the night in a light sleep waiting to hear it drop. She has her dummy when she's going to sleep but it falls out within 10 mins of her nodding off so she doesn't need it while she's sleeping.
Just now I tried leaving her a bit longer before doing anything, then put my hand on her but it slowly turned into a complete meltdown and now I'm feeding her to settle her back down. I just don't know why she wakes up at the same times each night, if she was hungry then surely she wouldn't just make do with her dummy? But the way she is feeding now, you'd think she'd been starved yesterday! If she is hungry, how can she go from sometimes sleeping 7.30-7 to waking at this time?
Has anyone experienced anything similar? X
