15 week old baby wakes 3 or 4 times a night

Posted by lyndsey barley on January 20, 2001 at 02:13:21:

Hi
can anyone please help! my 15 week old baby is waking 3 or 4 times in the night,my health vivitor has suggested giving her,her last feed at 10:oopm this is quite difficult in two ways,firstly,its very tiring keeping her up until that time,I cant relax as she does constantly need entertaining,and secondly she is almost always too tired to take a full feed and falls asleep after sucking at the bottle for only a few minutes,this means that as her last feed before that was at around 6:oopm she is waking up to be fed(or i think thats the reason)at around 1:30am.
she will go back to sleep in her crib after that but often wakes 2 or 3 more times after that.
Ive found the easiest solution is to bring her into bed with me and my husband,that stops her from fidgeiting and she will sleep,but then I cant sleep as I am worried about her falling out of bed or getting to hot not to mention the lack of space! even when I do put her in bed with us she will still wake for a feed about 4 hours after her last one.
Can anyone please help me sort out all this Im extremley tired now and have got to return to work in two weeks time,I honestly dont know for how much longer I can keep going,I feel quite low at the moment and my once wonderful relationship with my husband is suffering quite a lot.
thankyou
