Why does my child not sleep for me?

On weeks night I do the night feeds with my 5 month old and her dad will do them on a Friday and Saturday , on a Friday and Saturday she is completely golden wakes up once or nothing at all and the same when she stays over at her nans which is once a week Atleast but when it’s in the week and I’m on duty she will wake up every 2-3 hours on the dot sometimes not even wanting a feed she’ll constantly kick her legs as if she’s trying to get comfy and just be wide awake it takes me Atleast 2-3 myself to fall asleep so after she’s woken and then gone back to sleep she woke up again and I haven’t even slept yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

They sence the moms smell could be a reason do u breastfeed?

Not sure of your ready if she’s not already in her own cot try her

We use Ewan the dream sheep which I think had a large impact on the sleep it plays noises from the womb

She’s bottle fed and we have a light up noise thing she sleeps with but we are going away at the beginning of may and she’ll be with us in the room so we was going to put her in her own room after that as we didn’t want to confuse her
