The past two nights our LO has been waking up in between feedings crying and wanting to be consoled. We pick him up, calm him down, and then put him back in the RnP, then an hour later he's up again with the same problem. This continues in between feedings. It's also been more difficult to put him down at night, as soon as we do he startrs crying and wakes up. Anyone else having this issue? We're going to the Dr. today and I plan to ask him.
Re: sleeping question
This happened to DD when she was 5 weeks old. I think it's a developmental thing -- your baby's brain is growing and he's developing a new awareness of himself and his surroundings. It freaks babies out and they need consoling. There's a great book about it called The Wonder Weeks.
I hope your doctor's appointment went well!
