Isis1808 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 My 7 month old just started to wake up in the middle of the night constantly. He used to sleep through the night since he was 3 months and now he doesnt. I bathe him around 8:40 to give him his last bottle of the night, then to sleep at around 9:30 (sometimes he doesnt go to sleep until 10 or 10:30). He now wakes up around 12 then around 3 or 4am (once i take him to my bed and breastfeed, everytime, hes goes straight to bed without a problem) after this he wont wake up until around 7:30. He was never this was and it all started one day his dad and i we're going thru really rough patch, (we barely looked at each other and there were times he didnt even sleep in the bedroom), and i guess that affected him greatly, since b4 that he only saw us playing around and laughing together. Since this time he hashnt slept the same again, and i try to comfort him and we make sure that he joins us when we're playing and laughing together. I've tried to let him cry himself to sleep but i cant take him crying like someone is hurting him at around 4am. I need advice and help on what to do.
KinAZ Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Have you tried moving his naps around? Is he eating enough during the day?

I breast feed all three of my kids and I remember at that age.. sometimes they too would wake and be hungry. The best thing you can do is try to be paitent.. and know that this won't last forever. Also, make sure he's not sleeping to much during the day, because that too can give him more energy in those wee hours when mommy needs to sleep. Good luck. AP:)
