Sleep

Jordan

Struggling momma here. I have a 5 month old who is really struggling to stay asleep. We have our nightly routine. Diaper, sleep sack, story, bottle, bed, then pacifier and little pats to help drift off to sleep. She will be good for a little bit but then wake up every 30 minutes or so crying. I try to wait to see if she will stop but she does not. I will put her pacifier back in her mouth because it always falls out and give her little pats again and she is out within a couple minutes. This goes on a couple times then it is every hour! I won’t pick her up unless I know she might be hungry again and it is time to eat but I don’t know what to do to help her. It seems like she is waking up between every sleep cycle. I am not a fan of the cry it out method and she was previously only waking up three times a night to eat. I am tired and in need of some advise. What are other mommas doing?
