reverse cycling at 10 months?!

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I used to have the best sleeper. Before four months, DD slept 12-15 hours STRAIGHT at night. Slowly she started adding in feedings in the middle of the night. For the last two weeks she has  been up every two hours screaming and wanting to be nursed. I try holding her or rocking her and she will start playing or just wide awake until I nurse her. She will only nurse every 4-5 hours during the day time hours and will only nurse for a few minutes.

Has anyone else dealt with this? My DS did this and I ended up just having to let him CIO. What has everyone else done? I've tried offering food and nursing more often during the day, but she'll refuse to nurse.

    Could it be teething?  You could do CIO, I typically don't get DS in the middle of the night unless it is a scream and that is usually because he has a cold or teething and doesn't sleep well.

    I would try and cut out the two night feedings.  She might just be getting up for comfort.  My LO did this and I gradually cut the night feedings and then we did let him cry a little (not long) and it seemed to work.

    It's very normal to have some sleep regression around that age. It was very common on my BMB so I asked my pedi about it and he said it was pretty common since its such a big time for learning between crawling, cruising and moving towards walking. My s
