How do you get a 9 month old out of the habit of waking every 2 hours at night?
My daughter is now 9 months old, and it seems like ever since I remember she has been in the habit of waking up every 2 hours at night.
She generally has 2 naps during the day from about 10.30am-12pm and then again at about 3pm-4pm, and goes to bed around 7pm. She then wakes up about 10pm, has a breast feed, and then wakes up as if on cue every 2 hours for the rest of the night.
As I demand feed, each time she wakes, I feed her (she has always been a very quick feeder - only ever takes about 5 minutes then lets go).
About a month ago I had about 2 weeks where she only work once during the night... I though I was in heaven... and then it went back to the 2 hourly thing!
I'm really over it... as every day I get overtired myself so generally don't get to sleep myself till about 1am, and then I'm up and down all night with her.
Any suggestions????
