DH and I really have no idea what is going on with our son. G is almost 9 months and in the last week his sleep has been crap. Last Sunday (9 days ago) was the first night and he was up like 5 times over the course of the night. He had been a champion sleeper before that, unless he was getting a tooth but even then he would be up once and we could rock him a bit and put him back down. Since last week he's been up a ton at night and hard to put back down. It slowly got better over the week and then two nights ago was horrible again, I was up with him from 11:30-2.

Last night took the cake tho. I was up cleaning bottles and such at the sink and I was there for maybe 10 minutes, you can't really hear anything while doing it and DH was in bed with the monitor so I figured he would hear anything. I got down washing the bottles and turned off the water and I could hear G screaming. I head upstairs and go in to check on him, pick him up give him his pacifier and rock in for a few minutes. He was instantly calm when I picked him up and he started to fall back to sleep when I rocked him. I decided to put him back down since he seemed okay but when I did he screamed in a way I can't even describe. I decided we were in for a long night so I left him for a minute to go grab my PJs and brush my teeth. I could hear him screaming the whole time and it was just awful. I came back in about 10 minutes and picked him up but he would just not calm down. DH came in at that point and tried to take him and he freaked out even more. He didn't calm down for an hour. We checked his diaper, checked his body to make sure he wasn't hurt in some way, took his temp, everything we could think of. We decided to try a bath had and when we left his room and only then he seemed to start to calm down. If we tried to go back in he would start to whimper and cry again. I really don't understand it but I need to figure this out. DH is on a 7 day work week this week and is working 5-5, I'm trying to let him sleep as much as possible and we just can't keep going like this. I am open to any and all suggestions.
