So my LO (9mo) has almost always woken up around 6:30am for the day, and almost always happy. She generally just sits up and starts playing with the paci plushies in her crib, babbling a bit and happy until we get upstairs to grab her. The last few days she has been crying on and off WHILE sleeping from about 4:30am on, then waking up around her normal time crying and super upset.

It's bizarre. Especially the crying while she is asleep thing. I don't really know what to do because she is asleep so it doesn't really seem like she needs to be soothed... so I just let her be.

Anyways. I know it doesn't really matter WHY because she'll do it until she doesn't and I can't change it anyways. But just curious if others have experienced this in conjunction with teething? That's my best guess because she has been working on her first tooth all this week. I don't really think it is the 9mo regression because I think we did that a few weeks ago.
