my 2 month old DD had been sleeping well - her schedule was pretty much eat, play sleep (for about 2-3 hours).  But now she is only sleeping for 20-45 minutes at a time and is very restless.  i don't know what wakes her up and i don't know if i should try to put her back to sleep?  before when she would sleep for 2-3 hours at a time she wasn't sleeping on me.  any advice?

    Do you have her swaddled when she's sleeping?

    William did not get very restful sleep until we routinely swaddled him. Even now, he won't sleep at night unless he's swaddled.

    we always swaddle her when sleeping.  She seemed to be eating more than normal.  i'm not always sure how much to give her b/c she is bottlefed  bm

    My DD does this as well, I have read that a newborn sleep cycle is 45 minutes and if they wake up and do not soothe themselves to sleep they are then awake.

     My DD drinks BM from a bottle and takes 4 oz. every 3 hours.
