My LO is a VERY good baby...but she wakes up every 2 to 2 1/2 hours to drink from the bottle. I've tried feeding her before I put her to bed - but it makes no difference whatsoever. She will start crying/yelling - I give her the bottle (she doesn't even open her eyes), she drinks for 5 minutes or so, then rolls over and goes back to sleep. Rinse & repeat. She does her "final" wake-up anywhere from 5am to 8am (she goes down between 8pm & 10pm) - and I know she's up because she starts babbling and playing (but never hungry/thirsty). I'm 44 - and pregnant again due in Sept - so this is wearing on me at times. Any thoughts?
Lorelei is 7 1/2 months old

I don't totally know your situation, but the amount she gets in formula does not sound like enough to me. I know she is eating solids, but at 7.5 months she should still be getting the majority of her calories from the formula. My little gu

Only caveat is when dd is sick then I'll tend to her and also, she woke up in the middle of thr night for five nights in a row th
