One of our 6.5 month olds has sttn since she was 10 weeks old. She'd go down easily at 7:30pm and soothe herself to sleep and wake at 7am. She was a dream. Recently, she has started waking during the night. She'll cry out and we'll have to soothe her back to sleep. My first thought was teething. She has the signs: drooling, red cheeks, diaper rash...Tonight has been awful. While she went down easily at 7:30, she woke around 9 screaming. She stops right when I pick her up. She falls back to sleep easily in my arms but when I put her down, she's screaming again within minutes. This is what we worked so hard to avoid for the last 6.5 months. She used to be a great self-soother. Has anyone experienced this?
Re: XP: From STTN to waking many times
It could just be teething. I had this issue for 2 whole months with both my girls, but I was rocking mine to sleep. Since yours are soothing yourself to sleep, it could just be teething or growth spurts. Hopefully it wont last!
