Sleep question

[VaniDavila]

My 6 month old daughter has been good at night. She almost slept through the night, but for the last 3 nights she has been waking up every 2 hours and it is really wearing me out. I don't know if she just wants to sleep with me or what, but it's really getting annoying. I breast and bottle feed, but it seems as if she is hungry. At night before she sleeps I give her a bottle to make sure she is getting full and she drinks it. Should I talk to her pediatrician or should I just put up with it?

My boys are like that Im not sure what it is I know its not an ear infection they got checked for that, Frederic tends to sleep more then Cedric but at first i thought it will pass but their now 11 months and Cedric mainly will still make up 2 -3 times during the night i tried everything put a night light one night and none another night to see if it was the light but it didnt change anything i made it warmer one night and cooler another incase he was to hot, i feed him but sometime he dont even drink it other time he will drink everything and want to take his brothers bottle, I wear them out befor bed so their really tired but they still wake up. Sometimes they will cry so loud and hard like if someone was killing them i rush to the room i comfort them ofcourse but i cant figure out why.

She could just be going through a growth spurt too. Six months is prime time for a growth spurt and during that time its completely normal to start waking up to eat like crazy again! If it is a growth spurt it will definitely go away in a few days to a week. Unless she has a fever or is otherwise not acting like her self during the day, there probably isnt a real problem to be worried about. As a mother, ive come to realize the expression "this to shall pass" to be quite useful lol! babies go through so many little phases...best to just wait it out, feed her when she's hungry, hold her when she cries and pray for it to end soon :)
If you are really concerned, there is no shame in calling her ped to give you some piece of mind!
I hope the little piggy gives you some sleep soon!

It could be that she is teething and maybe it's bothering her my son got his first teeth at that age (he is almost 9 months old now).  It wouldn't hurt to get her checked out just to be on the safe side to make sure she doesn't have an ear infection ect.  But, one thing I have always done with my son is make sure he has enough food during the day.  If he is suppose to have say 30 ounces of liquid I make sure he is eating that during the day and done with eating at night (if he does wake I will give him maybe 2 ounces).  Is she on solid foods yet?  If not maybe start her to see if that helps with the hunger.  Or is there something in her room that might be disturbing her?  Like something outside that maybe making noise?  For a while my baby went through a phase where he would wake up and night and want to play...lol.  I have always just been consistant with what I do (dark at night no talking and very to the point I will change him and give him a kiss and back to the crib) and the stage has always passed.  I know it's annoying getting your sleep interrupted, but if you think about it even we as adults wake up if we are thirsty or need to go to the bathroom or if we hear something.  I think the key is to teach them that night time is for sleep, and it's ok if you wake but it's back to bed if it's still dark :)
