Hi Hetal,

I have a 5 month old girl, who falls asleep easily every night between 8-9pm. she wakes between 12-1 for a bottle feed and again around 3, but then becomes very restless and is uanble to sleep deeply. this keeps us up all night listening to her toss and turn and make sounds, (she sleeps in her own crib next to our bed) till we wake her up at 6:30 am. what can i do to get her to sleep soundly after 3 in the night. am i doing something wrong that is causing her to be restless. please advise. thanks in advance. Hetal replied. hi there,
what her bw, currnt wght and hows she in health stats ?
1. if she is 5months old, and exclusive on liquid/bm or formula,,,you can talk to your dr if these are not the signs of startng solids.
2. if you are bf, she might be feelng gassy, due to some diet you have had in later noons to night time,,reduce the diaries, beans and all gasy foods and check in other 24hours.
3. restless -- how you describe that,...
4. try keepng your own clothes that you wore, esp the bra bad or something like that,,see if your presnce makes him sleep better in his crib..
5. make him sleep with you might help.
6. gvng him gentle pats on his back, might help.

apart from that,,see if makng her sleep on alternate side helps her to sleep better..sometimes babies feel bloaty during night feeds or due to too much liquid diet,,and it makes them feel uncomfrble, when sleepng on back
7. see if makng him sleep elevated helps...

thats all i can see with these details..
wat are your baby sleepng schedules at 5montths ??? lemme see,,if that throws some lights on why she is havng disturbed sleep.
