It sounds like your little one is giving you a bit of a challenge with her bedtime routine! It's not uncommon for babies to have a hiccup in their sleep patterns, especially around the 6-month mark. There could be a few reasons why she's waking up after such a short period of time. Firstly, it might be worth checking if she's comfortable when she goes down to sleep. Sometimes, babies can be disturbed by things like temperature, noise, or discomfort from clothing or bedding. Making sure her sleep environment is just right might help her settle for longer stretches. Another possibility is that she's experiencing a sleep regression. Around 6 months, babies often go through developmental milestones that can disrupt their sleep patterns temporarily. This could be causing her to wake up more frequently than usual. One thing you could try is establishing a soothing bedtime routine that signals to her that it's time to wind down and sleep for a longer stretch. This could include things like a warm bath, gentle massage, or reading a calming story before bed. If she's still waking up after 45 minutes to an hour, it might help to give her some time to settle herself back to sleep before rushing in to pick her up. Sometimes, babies just need a moment to resettle on their own. If you find that she consistently struggles to settle back to sleep on her own, you could consider using gentle sleep training methods to help her learn how to self-soothe and fall back asleep independently. This could involve techniques like gradual extinction or the Ferber method, depending on your parenting style and what you feel comfortable with. Remember, every baby is different, so it might take some trial and error to find the right solution for your little one. Hang in there, and hopefully, she'll start sleeping for longer stretches soon!

there's a sleep regression at 6 month. also, 45 minutes sounds like she's waking up after one sleep cycle. Try to see if patting works instead of carrying.
Same as mine 6 months plus now.
