Shorter first stretch of sleep?

Question

My little has been doing his shorter stretch of sleep first. 
He goes to bed around 7:30pm and sleeps for about 4 hours. Then the second stretch is 6 or 7 hours. 
I thought the first stretch of sleep was usually the longer one?

Answer

My son usually only wakes up in the first half of the night. When he was ill or teething he could wake up 3-4 times between bedtime and 11 and then sleep through the rest of the night. He sleeps in our bedroom so I’ve wondered if he just feels our presence and sleeps better after we’ve gone to bed too.

Answer

Is he teething? My son started cutting teeth this week and has been waking a few hours after falling asleep. He only wakes for a little and falls back to sleep on his own. He’s definitely been waking more though since his teeth are coming in.
