My daughter is a little over 5 months old. She use to go to bed between 9-10pm and sleep till 4 or 5am. Now she is up every 2 hrs .....Im at a lost...Any tips, suggestions. Should I introduce cereal at bedtime? Any advice is appreciated...first time breastfeeding exclusively.

    Yes she is actually eating and a good amount....I try just rocking her and nothing helps but nursing. Im exhausted. She is very fussy during the day also. She use to take 3hr naps..now Im lucky to get 30 min naps. No teeth yet. Not sick. She is nursing a lot during the day also. My husband can get her to sleep better then me and Im not sure why. If just seems like if Im with her ...all she does is nurse.

    I tried medicine last week thinking it may be teething and no change in her mood or nursing schedule. I guess it could very well be a growth spurt. I think this started the day before Thanksgiving. She went from a happy content, taking naps, sleeping through the night baby to this overnight. I feel so bad. I don't know what to do. Unless Im holding or nursing her...shes usually crying.

    Thank you . I need some confidence because I dont want to introduce cereal yet . I want to be all she needs right now...I was just worried I was doing something wrong.
