Waking at night to play?

mediaperuana

For the last month, JJ has returned to waking up multiple times a night, but usually went back to sleep very quickly after eating or being rocked. The last few days, though, he's suddenly decided that 3 or 4am is a great time to wake up and play--and it's taken us 1.5 hours to get him back to sleep. Is there anything to be done for it, or is this just yet another phase we have to ride out?

Same here! Last night it was 2.5 hours! I so sleep deprived. Of course, he's taking a nice nap right now, but I cannot because I have an energetic toddler.

Sounds like the 4 month sleep regression! It hit DD like a wall right before she turned 4 months. The last few nights have been better- after 3+ weeks of sleeping in 45 min increments, I'm hoping we're finally through this phase!
