Some baby's just do not sleep! I was the exact same when I was younger I didn't sleep through the night properly until I was 3! Unfortunately it might have to be something you have to put up with. My mum with me tried to just leave me and let me cry and give me a dummy but it didn't work with me but it might work with your little one!

She's never had a dummie though so I don't think she would take it. I gave her one when she was about four months old but she didn't know what to do with it. She wouldn't keep it in her mouth. I had to keep putting it back in.xx

Ahh fair enough well my ex's mum she just had a baby and she would hold the dummy in her sons mouth till he got the jist of it, she said it may look evil but sometimes it has to be done. But if she is not a dummy baby then maybe she could be waking up because she is to hot or cold? Or maybe she just does not like sleeping! Sadly this is something that happens when you become a mum
My mum told me to say good bye to sleep as soon as my baby is born because she said if my baby was anything like I was I would not be getting more than 2 hours sleep a night xx

my son got up evrey 3hrs and he didnt sleep thru until he started to learn to walk wich was wen hit his 1st birthday. i tryed evreything,, putting rusk in his bottle to fill him up,,leaving him to cry,, giving him a dummy. but they didnt work, he had the odd nite wher he wud sleep for a little longer. he started not sleeping thru when he was teething. but thers just nuffing u can do when they r teething. and from then he wudnt sleep thru. maybe she is teething?? cudd be a sign. but sumtimes sum bbys just dont sleep thru. my bbys dad didnt sleep thru until he was walking wich was 10months. so obvioulsy he tukk after his dad. it is very hard,, ur just guna have to try and hav a lil nap in the day here and there if its draining u. gudluck,, in time they will adjust. but sumtimes it can be a slow method. xx

Maybe you will have to comfort her and continue avoiding feeding her every time she wakes but still be there for her. Try a dummy again but if it doesn't work don't panic just move onto the next thing. If she sees you react every time she will continue to wake - if she isn't screaming blindly then she should be fine, obviously comfort her is she is getting distressed, but otherwise it may need to be tough love even if it feels as though your ripping your heart out
