My LO is almost two and I'm battling this right now. He is talking to himself in bed. Haha. Silly kid. I let him try to go back asleep on his own. I will hear footsteps coming into our room every 10 minutes or so and I try to be consistent in bringing him back to his room. When worse comes to worse he sleeps in bed with us.

@pastemoo: Yep, 10. Going in before that gets her too worked up. During the day we go up to 15 depending on how she's crying. She mostly just yells instead of crying. We found that 5 minute checks just get her worked up, they don't calm her down.

hey pastemoo!

our 9 week old sometimes wakes up in between his last night feeding and wakeup time (around 4am the past 2 nights)--his cries are kind of distressed and i'm pretty sure it's gas pain. i try to calm him with a pacifier (the sucking sometimes helps him fart), but usually i have to pick him up and bounce him a bit and give him a does of gripe water. a couple of times i tried nursing him but i think it upsets his stomach even more (and he just ate 2 hours ago--he can usually go 3.5 hours or longer).

note: i never rock him to sleep--not that i wouldn't, he just doesn't fall asleep in my arms. i just put him back in his crib after he's calmed down and he usually sleeps till his "usual" wakeup time (whatever that is).
