I don't understand why pediatricians tell people that their child shouldn't be eating during the night after 4 months. If your child wakes up in the middle of the night and is hungry...FEED THEM! It won't last forever! Does she fall asleep with a paci? If so, maybe she's spitting it out in her sleep and then waking up when she realizes it's not there. I know it's not really good for kids to sleep in a bouncy seat, but I say if it isn't broke, don't fix it! :D Although, eventually she'll get too big for the seat. It's a tough dilemna. How long have you been trying to get her to sleep in her crib? Where does she nap? If she naps in her seat or swing, put her in her crib for naps. Have you thought about putting the crib in your room for a couple of weeks? Maybe that will help ease her anxiety. Or possibly using a mobile? Or a white noise machine? Just some thoughts. I hope you all get some good sleep soon!
