Help! DD up all night long at 14 weeks!

I posted this on my local as well... 

So, she was never STTN every night, but almost since the beginning, she has been a great sleeper.  At one point she was sleeping for 7-8 hour stretches, and only getting up once to eat.  For the last few nights she has been getting up three times; around 1am, 3am, and 5am.  I am exhausted!!  Maybe it's a growth spurt?  I'm worried that she's at the age where she's forming habits, and I certainly don't want this to become one. 

Do you think it's the 4 month wakeful period a few weeks early?  Has anyone else gone through this around 13-14 weeks?  Please HELP! 

I am in awe of you working moms who go through this, by the way.  I couldn't imagine having to teach a classroom full of kids on 3 hours of sleep!  I can barely function today.

    I've been feeling the same way.  My dd is a big girl though, and I shouldn't complain because she was sttn at 6ish weeks.  Last week during a heat wave it all went out the window.  One night she was up from 1am until 5am, which kicked my butt so so so hard!  She was off for a week.  The last 2-3 nights seem to be back on track, not as good as before, but certainly better then the past week. 

    I don't know if your dd eats when she wakes up at night, but since our dd makes it through the night, and has for a while now, she told me to just rock & soothe her back to sleep without feeding if possible so she doesn't expect that meal every night.  She was almost 15 lbs at 2 mo, so she's just fine eating wise.  That seemed to help.  She'll fall back asleep without much fussing within 10ish min.

    I'm going to check back to see the responses!

    Good luck!

    I would bet it is a growth spurt or early 4 month wakeful.  My DD did the night waking again at about 14wks for 3 nights, then she went back to her regular 8-9 hour stretch.  Now she is not as consistent as she was before and we will have one night fo STTN and then the next she is up again.  I don't think she will form a habit of night waking if you just quickly meet her needs and then put her back to bed.  Good luck!
