Do you get them up or put them back to sleep?

Question

So this doesn’t happen often, but every once in a while my daughter (almost 4 months) will wake up shortly after being put down for the night. 
Tonight it was because of fireworks. I knew she was tired so I kept her in her nursery, kept the lights off, rocked/walked/nursed/etc to try to get her back down but she ended up screaming for almost an hour. 
Should I have gotten her up and played for a little while then tried to put her back down?

Answer

Nope, put them back to sleep. Anytime a baby/child wakes up during what is supposed to be their overnight sleep, it's best to maintain the best environment for sleep (lights dim or off, no tv, nonplaying, little to no communication & eye contact). If you allow playtime, that's likely to become a habit.

Answer

There’s a big sleep regression right around 4 months. My boy has never been a great sleeper. We have found it best to keep the lights off and do what ever we can do to get him back to sleep. We only do lights on and let him play after 6am.
