9 hour sleep night followed by night of a thousand wakings
Sigh. We put him down early again and he woke up after 45 minutes. Then we put him back down and he woke up after 4 hours (not complaining about that), then every hour after that.
I just keep telling myself that he's waking up because he is learning SO much during the day. All the babbling, grabbing, cooing, looking at stuff - it's all too much for that little brain to process, so he needs time at night, right? He wakes up all the time because he's brilliant! Yeah!

Re: 9 hour sleep night followed by night of a thousand wakings
could also be the 4-mo wakeful period
were you in my house last night? we had the same problem. H woke up literally every hour and since DH has to work, I was the one who got up every.dang.time.
if this is STILL the 4 mo wakeful, i'm going to cry because we've been dealing with it for a couple weeks now. i'm hoping it was just fluke last night and tonight will be better.
Yeah, I'm assuming 4-month wakeful and/or a growth spurt. Add in the teething possibility and there are tons of reasons to stay awake.
I was just so hopeful after his 9-hour stretch on Saturday night.
And since I'm working and DH is at home right now, I'm not really sure why I got up every time, although I can't sleep through it. Finally at 3, I told DH to take over. But then LO was crying his hungry cries at 5 and I brought him into bed with me.
