Why is she waking up? Can't figure it out.

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

DD has been a great sleeper ever since 2 months.  She has almost always slept for 10-12 hours straight. (I know, it's wonderful!)

But the past few weeks, she has started waking up between 4 and 5 am.  For a little while, it was just a few times a week--but now she's done it every night for the last 8 days. 

Sometimes I feed her and bring her into bed with me.  If I do that she'll "sleep" til nine, but she spends most of the time cooing or playing with her Tigger, not really sleeping.  Sometimes, I just changer her diaper, don't feed her (I don't think she's actually hungry), and put her in her swing.  Then she'll sleep for another 2ish hours

I just can't figure out why she's doing it.  Is this a mild version of the 4 month wakeful?  Is she uncomfortable?  Has she just lost her ability to sleep for 11 hours at a time?  Have I pissed her off and now she's getting back at me?

I'm not really complaining, b/c she's still a good sleeper.  I just want to know if theres something I can do to help her sleep better again.

    oh and she also won't let me put her to sleep anymore.  i try to rock her to sleep, but most nights, i end up putting her down awake.  its just what she wants.  --but maybe this is affecting how long/well she sleeps?

    What kind of PJs is she in?  Kate was doing the same thing until I realized her fleece PJs are 100% polyester, and my sensitive skin baby can't wear synthetics.  I make sure she's in all cotton, and she sleeps great again.

    Sounds like 4 month wakeful.  She sounds like an amazing sleeper to begin with  (so jealous!), so maybe thats why its mild.

    LOL.  Probably 4 month wakeful.  Kate went through hers at 3.5 months, but it didn't last too long.
