Ok ok I get that no one decided to have a babyand expected to get lots of sleep but this every two hours up thing that lo is doing has got me exhausted. I hesitate to sleep trainas she has so much going on developmentally but maybe I just have to do it! She turned six months on July 17th.
We started a modified Ferber when DD was about 6 months old and it worked pretty well. She still wakes up once or twice in the MOTN to eat but she's not usually up every 2 hours anymore and she naps much better. She can even put herself to sleep now at naptime.
I agree with PP, if she is getting enough to eat during the day she shouldn't be hungry at night. Sounds like a comfort issue and it's probably time to sleep train.

I'm curious to know how you did this? We're having serious sleep issues over here and I don't want to go full on Ferber but I'm interested in a form of it where he knows I'm there if he needs me but so he still learns to self soothe.
