Hi All,
New here, I have a four month old little boy. Who has generally been a good sleeper and was sleeping through from 2-3 months, but the last week or so he has been waking a lot through the night, 4-5 times a night. He isn't settling as well as he used to either.
Any advice?
Teething and growth spurts spring immediately to mind.
He generally settles as soon as we pick him up and will fall back to sleep very quickly in your arms if you let him, but as soon as you put him down again he start crying again straight away. We try not to let him fall asleep in our arms and put him down awake.
The obvious answer, but have you tried teething gel or calpol?
Yeh, we have tried all sorts for the teething. I have just been reading about this http://community.babycenter.com/post/a2 ... get_better and it sounds like this may be the problem. So hopefully it will pass in a couple of weeks.
