ABC replied. HI,

I can understand ur problem. Kids frequent waking can be really tough, for working mothers especially.
Try giving her dinner by 7 pm and then bottle milk just before she goes to bed. You can try increasing the qty of each meal maybe a vati full instead of half. when they get sufficient nourishment during the day..they will require less at night. Also try rocking her to sleep when she wakes up early morning before offering BM. More than hunger it is the habit.

Your baby will settle down soon. Dont get stressed out. Learn to sleep when ur baby sleeps. I have also faced similar situations...but by 8 months most babies settle down. Enjoy Motherhood.. ABC replied. HI,
