I dont know what is going on but for the last week Isabella is waking in the middle of the night. I am giving her a bottle as she screams blue bloody murder if I offer her water - please help what can I do to try and encourage her to sleep through, etc.

Im so knackered as once she has woken me up Im laying awake thinking how I can sort out the world!!!!!
 
HAve you started her on solids yet? I suspect it might be a sign she is ready for solids.
 
Ewan was like this he would not accept water, so he would only take a bottle and that would be the only thing that got him to sleep, otherwise he would scream and scream.
Ewan eventually started sleeping through at 13 months! and now at 16 months he has started waking again! but he is teething again so i've put it down to that.
 
Be grateful for the break you had!!! haha... Ellis still doesnt sleep through!

Does she have 3 meals? I am going to put Ellis on breakfast, lunch and dinner this weekend see if that helps.

Maybe it is just a phase she is going through!

Olivia went through a phase of waking between 1 and 2am for what seemed like ages and they only way i could settle her was to feed her then she would only take 2oz :doh:

She gradually got out of it and started waking between 4 and 5 and it has got later and later now
 
Sorry i have no advice, as Mia still does not sleep though either and she wakes up 2 to 3 times a night and takes a bottle each time....we have tried everything-shes now on 3 meals a day and still that makes no difference.

I hate to say it but i'm going to try some contolled crying...i am just sooo tired i need some sleep and i don't believe she is waking out of hunger anymore i believe it's habit.

xxxxxxxxxxx :hug:
 
Thanks girls for your advice/experiences.

She has been weaned since just over 4 months. She is fed 3 times a day.

I feel really miserable and short tempered. I feel she crys/winges all the time :( :( :(
 
Awwww Eveadel, don't worry i'm sure it's just a phase she's going though or perhaps it's teething thats waking her up...i know how you feel as Mia wakes so many times in the night too...it's just so hard to know what to do.

Where abouts in Essex are you?? I'm moving back to Essex in March??

Amy xx
 
Yeah hope it is a phase.

I live in Benfleet, whereabouts are you moving to? Was it always temporary living in Spain??
 
We've been in Spain 3 years in March...which is when DH contract ends, so it's back to Essex...we are moving back into our house in Wickford. Would be nice to meet up some time.
