Hi
After using PU/PD to stop my five month old sleep has really improved. He generally goes to bed at 7:30 and wakes between 10:30 and 11:00 for a feed. He goes back to sleep with no problem and generally sleeps until 7 am unless he's bothered by a wet nappy (if he wakes for a change he usually goes back to sleep easily).
Occasionally I hear him waking and settling back to sleep, sometimes after a mantra cry or a whinge, so I know he can self settle. My problem is that recently he's started waking occasionally at about 9pm ish and cries hysterically. Ssh/pat doesn't work and if I try to pick him up he gets even worse. The only thing I can use to settle is to put him under his mobile - it basically seems to distract him from crying and he'll fall to sleep under it.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, there's no signs of teething and he's feeding well. I'm worried about the mobile becoming a prop but can't seem to calm him any other way. He naps fairly well during the day and is on a four hour EASY.
Thanks in advance.
