My daughter wont sleep?

Shes not hungry if all shes doing is suckling a tiny bit or falling asleep at the . Have you tried to let her cry for a few minutes? Sometimes babies cry in their sleep, by rushing to her you have noticed its gotten worse. My first was like this for months and it was exhausting so I know what your going through, since then I let my babies cry for a few and listen to them, often times they will put themselves back to sleep. By 5 months she should be able to sleep for 6 hours at a time in the night with out waking for food. Shes probably also going thorugh a growthspurt or be about to hit a major developmental milestone like crawling or teething or something and thats interupting her sleep. Listen to her but dont rush, let her try to soothe herself for a little bit first, if she doesnt calm down pick her up, rock her, shoooshh her, pat her back and lay her back down, and repeat, she should start sleeping better. Its not easy but it does get better, good luck~
