Another Sleeping question

Ash1103

Sorry I know there have been tons of these lately. Since February, Which was when DD turned 5 months she's been sleeping through the night. Last month she got her first tooth and I assume more are brewing in there to pop through. Last week was her first cold however for about 3 to 4 wks now she wakes up crying somewhere btwn 1and 2:30. She falls back asleep if I bring her in with us but other than that she's up. Also, the separation anxiety is crazy lately. I was wondering what this sudden change in sleep habit was about. Before, she fell asleep at 8, dream feed at 10(which I also stopped 3 wks ago bc I felt like she was too old to continue doing so), In crib after that feeding and she slept great till about 5:30, in our bed and slept till 7. Any suggestions??

From what you described, I think she's just having separation anxiety. All babies do. I feel like it's more now than ever just because of her age and she understands more now.

You had mentioned you stopped your dream feed a few weeks ago, which if I'm understanding correctly, is when your LO started waking up more. Maybe the dream feed would top her off and she wakes up actually hungry? Does she eat when she wakes up?

Maybe you could try to dream feed again and see if that helps?
