7 months old, sleep help

lmj8284

My 7 month old was getting to be a pretty good sleeper.  Sometimes sleeping through the night and sometimes only waking once but I could soothe him back to sleep pretty easily.

lately for the past week or so he's been waking 2-3 times at night screaming bloody murder!  I try to rock and soothe him but he arches his back and screams his head off.  NOTHING will calm him down except a bottle.  

Why is he doing this?  Growth spurt?  Teething?  Is he really that hungry at night?  He eats 36 ounces during the day plus 2-3 meals of solids.  

I don't want to create bad habits by feeding him 2 and 3 full bottles during the night but that is honestly the only thing that will calm him.  I'm trying to have patience and hopefully it will just be a phase that passes but I would appreciate any advice! 

Thank you:)

Yes he does fall asleep on his own in his crib.  I figured it was a growth spurt or teething and we have been giving motrin before bed.  Seems to have helped, he's only been up once the past few nights;)  Thanks for your response!

maybe he's gassy or has tummy problems?
