My son Has been sleeping through for around a 2months. Recently he has started to wake at night crying. He hasn't done this since waking for night feeds so I automatically thought he must be hungry. Not the case. Lift him out of the cot to feed him and he stops crying and starts to smile and "talk"
I pat him and lie him back In the cot. He cries louder than before I lifted him out. Keep comforting him and he cries louder. It makes me upset so I lift him out. He won't stop crying til we leave the room. Stepping back into his room sets him off again. he seems to be wide awake. I fetch his milk and try feed him just incase he is hungry and he sips at it taking very little. I change his nappy. Neither help.
Eventually after an hour to 90mins of letting him just sit up or be cuddled or sometimes even play he will go back to sleep for another hour or so.
The pattern repeat but with no bottle.
Next night I decide to not lift him or go to him as the crying gets worse. I watch thought the camera. He cries and crawls about the cot. It doesn't ease up so I go and talk to him and pay him not picking him out of the cot. Once again I made it worse. His daddy tries and ends up getting the same smiles and wide awake baby.
It messes up our routine to the point we no longer have much of one. Apart from awake at 8am and bed at 8pm... Althought that doesn't mean Dylan is asleep at 8pm.
I have no idea why he is waking up every hour and being bright eyes for 90min+ :-(
Please help me figure this out ://
