We haven't hit the 4 month point yet, but I'm absolutely terrified after reading all these posts. I'm thoroughly enjoying my sleep. Though DS still does wake up once in the middle of the night a few days a week it's generally just for a paci and he goes right back to sleep. What the heck causes this wakeful period and does it happen to every baby? DS has been a really good sleeper since the beginning so I don't think there is any way I'm getting out of this one...
Re: I am terrified of this 4 month wakeful...
I checked your blog but I did not see a post on this
It's interesting that you say that because we experienced the same thing last week. He was getting up like 4 times a night for a paci. If he didn't finish his last bottle he would definitely get up to eat. Are these early symptoms? The past four nights he's slept like a champ, but he's also had a cold which seems to be almost gone. Falls asleep around 10PM, wakes up once around 1AM for a paci, wakes up at 6:30AM to eat, back to sleep until 10AM.
I inadvertently deleted it this morning, sorry. It's on there now, second post.
