Sitting up sleep regression

edited October 2013 in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
For those who have gone through this already I am looking for insight.

For a little over a week now my LO has been waking up crying 2-3 times during the night sitting up. I know he is practicing in his sleep and he is disoriented to find himself sitting up but how can I help him to learn how to lay back down?

He knows how to soothe himself to sleep bc I put him to bed awake. For the passed week I have been nursing him and putting him back to bed. I have tried laying him back down without nursing but he gets back up on all fours and sits up crying. I have also tried letting him fuss for 10-15 mins before I nurse him to see if he goes back to sleep.

Does it truly take 2-6 weeks for this regression? Am I creating a bad habit by feeding him? TIA!

Edited to add: LO is 5.5 months.

    Yes. Not like a pro, but he gets from point A to point B.

    He might have developed a new association with nursing, but I'm not sure since he falls asleep just fine without it. The nursing might just be comforting to him as he goes through whatever developmental leap he is going through......
