Babies: 3 - 6 Months

3.5 month waking multiple times a night

Sometimes my LO only wakes once duirng the night, but some nights its every 2 hours.  Up until now, I have always went in his room when he's cried, pop the binky back in and he falls back asleep.  At 3.5 months, should I be letting him cry a little bit to help teach him to soothe himself?  Is the 2 seconds I'm in there to pop the binky back in not helping him learn to sleep through the night?  Thoughts?

  • Too young to self soothe. That will most likely be like shooting yourself in the foot.

    Give it time, he will get into a groove. DD1 always dropped her binky and when she got older, she started being able to find it herself and put it back in. But she didn't STTN until 8 months. DD2 still gets up twice and she a week shy of 6 months.

  • That is about the time DS started the 4 month wakefuls.  He will be 5 months next week and we aren't quite out of it yet.  Hang in there.
