Daisy is still waking 2 or 3 times a night, and needs to be fed or she won't settle back to sleep. She's worse now than when she was a newborn! I can cope with 2 night wakings, as long as she settles straight back to sleep after a feed - as I'm probably only awake for 10-15 mins. But I really don't think she should need to feed in the night now - she eats absolutely loads of solids in the day, so I'm sure she shouldn't be hungry for milk this often. One feed perhaps, but not three!
So I've been trying a bottle of formula for her dreamfeed. She took it the first 2 nights and had about 3.5oz, but the next night she didn't want any at all. So last night I tried putting the milk in her sippy cup (which she loves to drink water from) and she had quite a bit I think - though I didn't turn the light on so can't be completely sure and she might have spat a lot of it down her front. But anyway, it doesn't seem to have made much difference to her sleep - she woke 3 times last night and was wide awake at 6am. Will keep trying for a bit longer though and see what happens.
I wonder when I last had an uninterrupted night's sleep...it must be about a year ago at least, as when I was pregnant I was getting up several times a night to wee!
