Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Should've known it was too good to be true. . .

She slept from 9:30-6:30 this morning.  Usually, she goes back down for another couple of hours after her 2nd morning feeding (the first is usually around 4 or 5 AM), and is up for the day around 8:30.  I should've known something was up when she didn't wake for her 1st morning feeding.  But I got my hopes up that this was the start of sleeping longer through the night. 

NOPE!  She didn't go back down after the 6:30 feeding, and she's only napped twice for 20 minutes a piece.  Usually I swaddle and nurse her to sleep, but that's not cutting it anymore apparently, because I think she's waking up when she realizes she's not nursing anymore.  

She's not hungry, she's not wet/poopy.  I've tried not swaddling her, drowsy but awake, Ferber method.  (Which I know now she's still too young for--didn't work well at all.)  She calms down as soon as she sees me.  What the heck is going on?!?

     Didn't try it at night--read the book at night, tried it for a nap the next day.  DD screamed to the point of choking on her spit (she's teething, too).  Stopped and calmed as soon as I went in.  Didn't try it again, becauseposters on here said she was still too young to try it with.
