3.5 month waking multiple times a night

alijanepot

Sometimes my LO only wakes once duirng the night, but some nights its every 2 hours.  Up until now, I have always went in his room when he's cried, pop the binky back in and he falls back asleep.  At 3.5 months, should I be letting him cry a little bit to help teach him to soothe himself?  Is the 2 seconds I'm in there to pop the binky back in not helping him learn to sleep through the night?  Thoughts?

Too young to self soothe. That will most likely be like shooting yourself in the foot.

Give it time, he will get into a groove. DD1 always dropped her binky and when she got older, she started being able to find it herself and put it back in. But she didn't STTN until 8 months. DD2 still gets up twice and she a week shy of 6 months.

That is about the time DS started the 4 month wakefuls.  He will be 5 months next week and we aren't quite out of it yet.  Hang in there.
