So our LO is almost 5 mnths and the last 4 nights has woken up EXACTLY 45 minutes after going to bed. Nothing in his routine has changed--he usually sleeps from 7:30pm-6am or later and now he wakes up screaming. I know it's a sleep phase problem, but no idea how to fix it. Anyone else? Ideas?
Re: LO waking up 45 mins into night sleep
7:30 to 6 or later....wow.
Yes it's probably just a phase. Does he go right back down or is it a fight?

This.
Definitely a phase - he will outgrow it. I think you are doing the right thing by letting him CIO for those 10 minutes. He'll learn to fall asleep on his own and won't wake up screaming anymore.
