good sleeper is not sleeping good anymore! ugh!

My 6 month has been a good sleeper since he was 2 months old.  By 4 months he slept 8-9 hours straight and at 5 months dropped the last night feeding and started sleeping all the way through the night (11 hours).  Up until about a week ago he had been sleeping soooo soundly, 11 hours without a peep, and now all of a sudden he is not sleeping.  He tosses and turns and fusses in his sleep all night. Its not like he wakes up crying or anything so trying the cry it out method doesn't really apply.  I just feel bad that he's sleeping so terribly and I don't know how to help him.  I am getting up like 10 times a night to try to help him get comfortable, rub his head and back.  He doesn't usually fully wake up and never cries but the constant tossing and turning and "complaining" still keeps me up.  Last night he did wake up after not being able to get comfortable for 2 hours and just started talking like he wanted to play.  Ugh I feel like I have a newborn again.  Please tell me this is just a phase!!  Could he be teething?  He is still toothless

    Yea I hear him on the video monitor and I feel bad that he's so restless.  He doesn't see me when I go in bc he is still asleep.  Its like he's having bad dreams or something.  I'm just so frustrated because he was such a sound sleeper before and now he seems so uncomfortable and I just don't know why

    It's totally normal at this age for their sleep to become restless. Their brains are on overdrive with all of the new stuff they are learning. I agree with PP that you should stop going in all the time.

    We are going through this right now as well. I find that LO will wake up crying, but within about 5-10 min., he's back to sleep again until the morning. If he doesn't stop after that amount of time, he'll have a feeding. Hoping we will get our awesome sleeper back soon!

    The exact same thing is occurring with my 6 month old daughter. For the past 2 months she would sleep without a peep all night long and then like a week or so ago she started to wake up throughout the night. It looked as if she was having bad dreams and I fet so bad because I don't want to wake her but I want to soothe her..... So glad I came across this and to know it's a common phase <3
