Baby waking up multiple times at night
My 6 month old daughter has been waking up multiple times at night for the past 8-10 days. She is fed mother's milk. She wakes up every 25-30 min at night and sleeps the moment she is taken in lap and fed. Not sure what the concern is. Is it because she feels hungry at night and now needs outside milk and other food items? If yes then please advise what and in how much quantity? If no then what can be the cause of concern? She is all playful during the day.

Hi! Few babies feel safe with mother touch or in lap or few babies like rocking etc and goes to sleep in those positions.
Not always due to hunger, if due to hunger they would cry for feed and would be consoled only after fed. You can continue breast feeding and start on complementary feeds starting with homemade fruits/ vegetable purée etc once a day to gradually increasing frequency.
