Months 4-5 were really tough for us because of that (it was the age of 40-minute catnaps) but he grew out of it. Teething may contribute, but typically doesn't cause that kind of disruption. I also would try getting him to bed a bit earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-and-crying-every-30-min-1-hr#post-215263 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:44:14 +0000 Sammyfab 215263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you think he's teething you could try Tylenol before bed? </p> <p>You could also try putting him to bed earlier. I have read a ton on infant sleep and most say that constant waking in the first few hours after bedtime are classic signs of overtiredness. we aim to have LO in bed 2 hours after his last nap and that has been as early as 5:45!</p> <p>I hope it gets better for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-and-crying-every-30-min-1-hr#post-215261 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:41:40 +0000 Mrsbells 215261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is 11 weeks so I'm guessing in my case its too early for teething. I have a ped appointment this week so I will mention it when I go, but so far she goes through lots of different phases so I'm guessing this too will pass </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-and-crying-every-30-min-1-hr#post-215257 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:40:07 +0000 Clementine 215257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: my only hunch is either teething (i,e, excessive drool and constantly trying to teeth on something) or a growth spurt or maybe even both, Not sure when I should call the ped just to make sure this is ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-and-crying-every-30-min-1-hr#post-215254 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:39:21 +0000 Clementine 215254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: he goes to bed around 7:30 pm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-and-crying-every-30-min-1-hr#post-215252 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:35:37 +0000 Mrsbells 215252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby has started doing this for her first 2 hours of sleep at night. Its really frustrating </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-and-crying-every-30-min-1-hr#post-215249 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:32:59 +0000 Sammyfab 215249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor thing! Is he overtired at all? What time does he go to bed at night? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-up-and-crying-every-30-min-1-hr#post-215149 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 10:08:28 +0000 Clementine 215149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately, my son's (almost 5 mos) has been waking up crying during his night sleep every 30 min to 1 hr the first 4 hours of sleep. He doesn't seem to be crying because he's hungry or wet. The only thing I can think of is that he's been drooling a lot and chewing on things because he's starting the teething process (no teeth yet). I'm kind of bewildered by this new behavior. </p>
