Major sleep issues... please help me!!

My 8 month old has all of a sudden started waking up numerious times in the middle of the night just screaming bloody murder. He screams like he is in so much pain. I am not at all against CIO at this age, but when I let him CIO he stops after about 10 min, then an hour later, he starts screaming again! Usually then, I will go and get him, rock him, put him back to bed and an hour later it starts all over! I need some advice please!!!!

  • Sounds like an ear infection to me.  FWIW, my DS's ONLY symptom when he has an EI is rough sleep.  Never runs a fever, never tugs at his ears, never screams when he's awake - just craptastic sleep.  Or could it be teething?
  • It could be teething, but he already has 4 teeth and didn't do this when those were coming through.

    Are you sure that he is not hungry or has gas pains? My twins act like that with either of those issues.

  • Hmm, I guess it may be eye teeth, but if he tolerated the others coming through I'm still voting EI.  Poor guy, and poor mama!
