Who else lo wake after 1 sleep cycle come bedtime?

Question

Any one else baby wake after 1 sleep cycle come bedtime? On the odd occasion my lo wont wake up but most nights she does. Any ideas on how to stop it ?

Answer

Same here and I don't know why! She puts herself to sleep when she goes down for the night but wakes up like clockwork 40-45 mins after going down. I put the paci in and she goes back to sleep sometimes right away, sometimes after a few minutes of fussing. If I don't come in the room she shrieks, even if she has her paci. I think she just wants to know I'm still there/going to come when called

Answer

My son was doing this and I think it was because he was hungry. He'd be so sleepy that he wouldn't nurse much before bedtime, then he'd wakeup every sleep cycle and fall asleep quickly without eating enough. 😣 Instead of nursing before bed, I started giving him a full bottle which he consumes faster than breastfeeding. It made him sleep much longer. Additionally, now that he's eating solids several times a day, he's sleeping 9+ hours! 😳

Answer

My son was doing this! We tried CIO, but it didn't work, and we were losing more sleep. So I moved him to his crib in his own room, and tried the no tears method. We're on the 3rd night and last night he slept 11 hours and only woke once. He was previously sleeping in his pack and play but I don't think he liked it too well, must not have been comfy and we may have been keeping him up tossing and turning, and my husband snoring lol, but he loves his crib. 
Everytime he woke he had to have a bottle to fall asleep, so when we did the CIO I took his bottle at night (I knew he wasn't hungry) but then decided to wean him from it instead, but haven't really had to worry since he's been in his crib.

Answer

Ah yesss. This happened to my LO around 5 months. Literally 40-45 minutes after being put down every night she woke up. It happened every night for maybe 2 weeks and then it suddenly stopped.
