7 month old waking up crying at night

charmedgrl517

DD has been waking up crying on average once a night for the past month. She has been sleeping through the night since she was 2 months old and dropped her 4am feeding since about 3 months. Just recently about 6 months old, she wakes up once a night crying sometimes hysterically. I pick her up and rock her and she is out in 10 min, but I thought by now if it was a phase or growth spurt it would have subsided by now. I didn't think of asking the pediatrician at her last appt sine it just started. I don't know if she is having a night terror, separation anxiety, or what!? There is probably one or two nights a week that she doesn't wake up crying but it's pretty much every night and all different times. Anyone else LO go through this at this age? Thanks!

It could be teething pain?  DS has been going through short phases of this.. like 2 weeks where's he's up crying once a night.. and then he'll be fine, and then a few weeks later it starts again, etc.

If it's about 2.5 hours after she goes down, then I'd think night terrors.  There's not a lot you can do for them, but if those are the case, waking her up at the 2 hour mark nightly seems to do the trick.  You basically retrain her brain. &n
