I have read something that I was going to try on my son if he kept waking 3-5times a night.

What I read was for a week keep a diary of your babies sleep patterns.

Then the next week wake him up just before she normally does and (in your case feed her) comfort him the way you normally do to get her back to sleep.

Continue this for a while the just streach the time by 15-30 min until you eliminate some feedings.

I thought about this and it makes sense you simply are giving your child the security that you are there for him. She won't wake up because she knows you'll come in soon and take care of her.

If you try it out let me know how it works.

I wrote this for someone else so if their is any referances to a"boy" sorry. I tried to fix them all.

I hope this helps.

Teresa
