I'm first inclined to say teething. Maybe he is working on some new teeth? Does he seem unusually fussy during the day? Hopefully it passes in a few days!

@hilsy85: I have heard that some babies are too distracted by things during the day and all that's going on to notice the teething pain, but at night it can come out. Hang in there! I am sure he will start sttn again soon!! I bet you will see a new tooth sprout through over the next few days

@hilsy85: Couple weeks. I never gave her anything this round for pain cause the only time she seemed hurting was when she would cry out in her sleep, and then go back to sleep.

@hilsy85: I try to let her CIO . . . when/if I go in depends on how she is crying/ how long she has been (continuously) crying. I time it (because each second seems like an eternity when she is crying!) and try to giver her around 20 minutes . . . if she sounds scared/like she may be in pain (and doesn't let up with the crying), I will go in around 15 minutes. If she is fussing and tossing, I will let her go a little while before going in.

@hilsy85: By trying to let her put herself back to sleep . . . but really, I think it's that combined with her getting older/eating better/gaining a little weight, etc., that has moved the wakeup from 3:30 to 4:00 to 4:30, etc. It is so hard to not go in right away, but it has worked for me/us.

ETA: When I go in, I know that I am going to be in it from that point on, so I usually nurse her back to sleep if possible, and try to get her to sleep an extra 30 minutes to an hour. Every once in a blue moon I am able to put her back down again, but it has happened so infrequently that I never rely on it.

Mine does the wake up fall asleep wake up bit too . . . that's why I have to time things . . . . and when there is a big gap like that, I start the clock at zero when she wakes up again. I use the timer on my iPhone, and for every wakeup after I first put her down, I hit the *lap* button so that I can see how long her continuous sleep segments are, how many wakeups she has, and how long she fussed for each wakeup . . . it helps to look at overall patterns.

@hilsy85: my DH either (1) snores through it (so loudly that I am usually telling both of them to GTFTS in my head!); or (2) if it wakes him up, he usually just rubs my back for a second (because he knows I am watching the monitor) and then goes back to sleep. I know it disrupts his sleep, but not nearly as much as it does mine . . .

I don't know about together--lol!--it's just that her sleep has been such a huge issue that the first thing I do when I hear her is grab my phone to look at the time and to see how long she has been sleeping. Now it's just habit . . . born out of the frustration of not really remembering what was happening at night, and because I didn't know/remember what happened, I didn't know how to start to fix it (or even if I could).

@hilsy85: Hope it passes quickly!
