This Month: Any Leaps? Spurts? Etc?

Question

The last few days my little dude has been up every 1.5-2 hours.. is it just us or is this going on with anybody else again?! 😅 This makes me miss his 3-3.5 hour stretches on regular nights. lol
(Pleeeease don’t respond with how you “have no idea bc my babe has been sleeping through the night since 5 weeks,” my tired butt is too sensitive for such happy tales this morning 😆)

Answer

Last night was so long. She was up constantly. It's been getting worse this week. I'm equally sensitive to hearing about all those unicorn babies at the moment. Lol 
I have no insight other than: we can do this!  I'm here in the trenches with ya, sister!

Answer

You are not alone! My bub wakes up 4-5 times each night. Then I have to offer him feed and he is back to sleep in 5 minutes but it takes me half an hour may be to get back to sleep and as soon as I get into a deep sleep he is up again. This has been happening for last one month. May be its a phase may be not, I am not even waiting for this to get over🤷🏻‍♀️. For last 7 months there always is one or the other thing that I wait to get past with. SO THIS TOO SHALL PASS 😂

Answer

Have you changed anything for night feeds? 
My baby girl is/was doing great weight and development wise at 6 months so my paediatrician said I needed to stop her night bottle and just give her water as she didn’t need it anymore. 
She would drink the water but her sleep got worse and worse to the point of waking up every 30-45 minutes. Sometimes if I was lucky she would sleep from 7-midnight but after midnight it was the 30-45 minutes like clockwork. We were advised to “bite our teeth and push through it” well she’s 7.5 months old now and up until two nights ago was still waking every 30-45 minutes. 
What did I change? Started offering her a night feed of formula again. 
It’s perhaps too early to say whether that’s “fixed” the problem but it’s been two nights in a row that she’s slept her 4 hour blocks again, she seems happier and I am most definitely happier and able to function again. 
Thing is, when I stopped the formula I genuinely believed she didn’t need it, she wasn’t taking the full feed and was using it to go to sleep. But clearly she’s not ready to give it up and if Ive got to choose between every 30-45 minutes awake or every 4 hours? I’m going for 4 hours.

Answer

Same boat! I was looking up spurts and leaps too cuz I'm like what the heck is happening!

Answer

Maybe caught a cold? Mine is a unicorn baby but recently got a cold and the night before he had any symptoms he was waking up every hour or two. I had no idea why. The next day he had a runny nose and the visible symptoms started.

Answer

Last night was the third consecutive night my boy was up every 2 hours. I have no idea why. I thought maybe leap, teething, or ear infection. Idk I was just thinking of anything cause it’s brutal lol

Answer

My baby still eats twice sometimes three times a night...i have basically given up but i did take him to the doc yesterday and he had a sinus infection.  Everything i read says they will eventually move past this......I do try to let him fuss for a minute or two to see if he goes back to sleep.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  Hopefully we all get sleep sooner rather than later!!!

Answer

We just had a week of that!! It was exhausting, worse night was 9 wakes up between 8pm-6am... we are finally starting to get back to normal which is still 2 wakes up, but I’ll take it if we never have a night like that again!

Answer

My son started sleeping through the night right before he turned 6 months, but for the past week, hes been waking up at 3am and doesnt go back to bed till damn near 5am. He is cutting 2 teeth right now but man. And we cosleep so hes crawling all over us, pulling hair and babbling at the top of his lungs. I had a sweet taste of sleeping again and its been ripped away 😭
