Need Sleep Help
So I know a 3 month old is on supposed to sleep through the night, but I have seriously got to get some more sleep soon. With going back to work full time, a husband that tavels at least 2 days a week, and keeping up with a 2 year old I'm going crazy with no sleep. Any advice is appreciated!
Ansley goes to bed around 8 after a bottle and bath. Then wakes up between 10-11 for a bottle and goes back to sleep. Then she wakes up between 3-4 for another bottle and takes a while to go back to sleep. And finally she is up for the day around 6:30 with another bottle.
Things I've tried that are not working: I'm giving her as much formula as she will take during the day. Swaddeling which works to get her to bed, but she escapes at night and I'm afraid she is getting cold (miracle blanket and swaddle me, its amazing she can even get her hands out of the miracle blanket now). I even tried adding 1 tablespoon of cereal to her night time bottle (I know I'm a terrible person), sleeping in the pack n play in my room, sleeping in the crib in her room.

Maybe she doesn't want to be swaddled? DD hated the swaddle and would break out of it, so maybe if you put her down without it (and put her in a sleep sack so she won't be cold) she won't wake herself up when she breaks out of it.
I also would try to get rid of the 10 pm feed. Or, put her down a little earlier, like 7:30, give her a dream feed at 10, and see how she does.
