Hi! My 4.5 week DS has been consistently sleeping from 8pm - 8 am waking only 2 x's a night for a while now. We were consistently getting 4+ hour sleeps a night - wake up and nurse and go right back to sleep. Suddenly, two nights ago he woke 3 x's and last night he woke up every two hours! What's going on? =(
We follow the E -A -S throughout the day and have been since he was one week old! He's adapted really well. We do the evening routine every night - wind down, bath, bottle, sleep. And, we've totally eliminated the evening fussiness.
Why the nightwakings all the sudden?

that sounds like a growth spurt to me, he should settle back down in a few days...

I hope so! I looked up growth spurts and it said typically 2-3 weeks and 6 weeks. I've never noticed a growth spurt before. =( He seems to be eating a little more in the day. Just longer not necessarily more frequent. And he's not any more fussy??

I think they can all be different, tbh. And, while they're often around 2-3 and 6 weeks, they can be quite random and frequent in the beginning. If there's no other reason for the wakings, which it doesn't sound like, my guess would be GS too.
