6 month old nursing all night

DD had become a good girl and was waking up 2 sometimes 3ce at night. but since last 2 days she is waking up every 1.5-2 hours....
sleeps from 9-2 am and then after that every 1.5 hours wakes up to nurse. my milk supply is not all that great but i know its enough to fill her tiny tummy. she empties both sides and still restless... goes to sleep and up fo feed in no time.

this is draining me out totally, could this be a growth spurt? is it common at 6 months too? i have become a zombie
i am not giving her much solids during the day, only a little puree/cereal for lunch. should i give her some cereal for nights?

 

vidya i am trying to understand what could be happening?
theres no way i can measure my milk supply, its low and hence she is nursing so frequent? or maybe she is growth spurting?
maybe she needs a little bit of solids before sleep?i have noticed last 2 days she has become this SUPER active baby, she rolls almost round the clock, then cries coz she just cant stop but tired. its funny, as if rolling is just coming naturally to her and she just cant stop!
also last two days she is trying hard to army crawl. but cant. so she gets bugged ,fussy,tired.
i am seriously trying to find out whats bothering her, and wats making her our lil hungry monster

 

lee i give her cereal 2 scoops at 7.30 pm , since i thought any later would be hard on her. but that has not made any bit of difference!!!! she still wakes up every so often. bah
but she sleeps happy that she has had some solid food... i am going to continue these 2 meals though. she is just so super active that i think she requires this additional semi solid.
so we give her for lunch- 2 oz of veggie puree mixed with 1 scoop easum(rice+dal) and night 2 scooops easum mixed with water.

i made her get used to easum , and glad that it has worked out great with her, she loves it, and poops well now.my shifting would be not so difficult now. once we are settled i am going to start her on oats o bulgar wheat.and drop off this readymade cereal.

i think we can easily make this easum thing at home though... i am guessing dry fry equal amounts moong dal and rice, and powder together.baby LOVES it

 

lol ramya, u are funny. that was a typo..!
i meant oats or bulgar wheat.
bulgar wheat is actually par boiled broken wheat. but we can use dalia too.. takes longer to cook but very nutritious.my mom said she had started dalia for me wen i was 7 months old.

 

ramya its different in different parts of country u know. in north people seldom use ragi for babies. i hv seen this as a norm in south india. there we use suji(semolina) suji upma of running consistency is given after baby does well on rice.

yes i am planning to start suji on her nxt say 2 wks frm now. for now i am going to start rice cereal with veggie stew
