Did your LO ever go through a sleep regression around 7 months? Or, what about after an illness/stomach bug (regardless of age)?
If your LO went through a sleep regression, did they ever suddenly require an extra bottle? This is what is driving me nuts. He went from barely eating 5 bottles, to needing 6. Our pediatrician told us that he should only have 5... but he wakes up STARVING and hysterical every morning around 1 AM. Nothing calms him down unless he eats. No idea what to do. I can't/won't let him go hungry, but I also can't keep feeding him that late at night. He already gets a bottle right before he goes to bed. I feel like he shouldn't need a middle of the night bottle at this age... right?
We're back to multiple wake ups a night. We never really sleep trained, but we would let him fuss for awhile before going in to replace his pacifier, and that really worked. He would wake up, fuss, and go back to sleep on his own. Now, he wakes up and just cries and cries... we replace his pacifier, and he repeats after 30 minutes.
Sound familiar to anyone? I just want to sleep for more than 3 hours at a time!
