Waking at night

DS goes to sleep by 9:30/10pm.  Almost every night he wakes at 2 and 4- sometimes a few other times during that time span- just to put his paci back in  his mouth.  Sometimes he wiggles around for a while before getting back to sleep or off and on during the time from 2-6.  His eyes are always closed, and he doesn't really seem to need to get up to eat.  He gets up at 6 to eat.  I'm wondering what wakes him up and makes him sleep so restlessly.  I'm so glad he doesn't get up till 6, but it's exhausting waking up 3-4 times to put the paci in his mouth and getting him to sleep.  I'm sure he's tired too!!  I wonder if it's gas.  Is it weird for him to wake up at almost the exact same times every night?

    It may be his sleep cycle, coming out of a dream period etc. It may be a left over response to when you were feeding him throughout the night. My baby wakes up like clock work too but I normally nurse her back to sleep. The last two nights she has sleep through the night (yeah!) but I expect her to go back to getting up 3-4 times a night.

    I know that I get into a pattern of waking up at the same times every night. Like the last two nights I woke up at normal feeding times to find out that Alice was sleeping through them. Also, I tend to wake up at the same time every morning if I need to or not.

    It's funny, I've started waking up right before he does almost each night- if he hasn't already woke me up.  Maybe we're just both in this familiar cycle.  Hope it passes soon!

    My LO does the same thing. Every night at between 2:30 and 3 am she's tossing and turning with her eyes still closed. (She still sleeps in the RNP next to our bed) I try putting the paci back in her mouth but she just yanks it out and keeps tossing and grunting. The only way I can get her to stop is to pick her up and cuddle her for a bit (20-30 minutes) until she's snoozing soundly, then I put her back in her bed. (Where she'll sleep for another couple hours). But I think I may be starting a bad habit, because I really don't want to do that every night 3 or 4 months from now.
