Recently LO has been having so many (10? maybe more) partial awakenings at night. She has her eyes closed but is fussing and tossing her head. She's in a co-sleeper bassinet so we have to reach over and give her the binky, which usually puts her back to sleep. That only doesn't work 1 or 2 times a night, when I nurse her.
Has anyone else dealt with this? How can we get her to put herself back to sleep w/out the binky? She's in a Merlin Sleep Suit so she can get her hands to her mouth to self-soothe but she doesn't seem to do that.
Could this be the 4 month wakeful period? She's super drooly so I thought maybe it could be teething? I'm so tired of waking up a million times a night just to reinsert the binky!
Help & advice appreciated!!
Re: 4 month old - soooo many partial awakenings at night! normal?
O does the same thing but he's been doing this a couple of weeks now, usually I just let him fuss for a few minutes with his eyes close and he falls back asleep most of the time. If he doesn't after a few minutes, then I go and give him his paci then gently rub his head and hum very quietly so he falls back asleep. I'm hoping that by doing the head rub and humming that eventually I can get rid of the paci when it happens and he'll still calm down. Worth a try.
