HelloI am somewhat new to this group, as I joined a while back but have not posted anything. I have an almost 8 month old son who started sleeping through the night at about 2 months. He used to sleep from 8:30 pm until about 7:30am. As of about a month and a half ago he no longer sleeps though the night. He now gets up 3 or 4 times (sometimes more) and sometimes just wiggles around crying where I can get him to go right back to sleep and other times just cries and cries and doesnt want to be put back down so it takes a while for him to go back to sleep. Sometimes no matter what I do nothing seems to help. He is teething, he has 2 bottom teeth and 4 on top so maybe that could have something to do with it I have already tried Tylenol and it doesnt always help. Im just wondering if any of you have been through this, if its just a phase or if anyone has any tips or ideas. Sorry this was so long! :)
Good Luck!
My son is a year old now and we've gone through several sleep patterns. He went from getting up 3-4 times a night, then 1-2, then up again 3-4 (when teething around 7 months), then back to 1-2, sleeping through the night, up again 2-3 times a night and now back to sleeping through the night. There's just so much going on in that first year!
If it is teething, try Motrin instead of Tyenol. I've found Tylenol does not help with teething pain. Motrin does wonders!
Good luck. It will get better!
