Babies: 6 - 9 Months

When baby wakes up crying in the middle of the night does anyone else????

Just go in and stick pacifier in their mouth and go back to bed. I am getting tired she is 9 mths and last night woke up 4 times. I tried to let her cry it out but she kept crying so I got up and plugged her lol. But I wonder why she is crying and why wont she open her eyes and just look for the binki? ANyone else going thru this?

  • It's common to have a sleep regression at 9 months, from what I've read.

  • Ri has been doing this lately too! I don't know what it is... I have started just giving her her binky, blanket, and turning on her lullabye music. She normally stops crying for a bit. If she starts again I give her a bottle and then we both go back to bed.
  • We've never gotten the sleep thing figured out. DD has always been pretty high maintenence. I restarted CIO tonight. I did my best to put her down awake but she was so out she might as well have been asleep. It took the whole 15 minute circuit for her to go back to sleep. I'm just waiting for her one hour sleep cycle to come back around to do this whole forty-five minutes over again. I hope not, but realistically that's what I'm prepping for.

  • My almost 6 month old has been doing this lately too.  She wakes up, cries, and I just sleep walk to her room to "plug" in her paci then she immediately falls back to sleep.  Why can she just go right back to sleep?

  • I try giving her a binky before I do anything else. Sometimes, thats all she wants. If she wanted more (which is sometimes the case) then she'll let me know by getting pissed off that I even thought of giving her the binky. When that happens I get up and walk with her or sit with her in the glider or something (this is, of course, if she has eaten recently and I happen to know she's not hungry). But even then, there are times when nursing her is what she wants. So, in answer to your question: Yes, every time, its the first thing I try.

  • DS used to do that until we took the paci/binky away. He cried for one night after we took it away and then never cried again. I kind of felt bad taking it away so early but he was waking up 6 times a night for it and I couldn't handle it anymore.
