cynthia beat me to it- how is his poop? has he been spitting up? Does he get formula or something with dairy in it? Sounds like a possible upset tummy to me.

Reading this post My thought was seperation anxiety & possibly a late 6mo growth spurt.
With ds#1 around 7mo I used to have a mattress on the floor in his room if he woke up more than once a night I would sleep in there with him. after about 2 weeks of doing that the night wakings stopped for awhile (until he got sick - another story)
Aiden also had lots of tummy upsets in the early days of solids as he loved them & kept eating. Once I cut him back to smaller amounts he did fine, some babies intestines just don't mature as fast as others

gosh, i just saw your replies...
things are much better.  i went back to very simple solids (sweet potatoes, rice cereal, and applesauce, basically) because he got a stomach virus, and wouldn't you know it, the night-wakings almost stopped!  now he's up around 12 and 5, and i dream feed both times.  i think you ALL were exactly right... tummy aches and sep. anx.!!!

my dh and i have also been a lot less hands-on when we go in to check on him.  we have been giving him 5 minutes (to cry, fuss, talk, etc.) and then go in a verbally soothe him or rub his back for about 2 minutes.  then leave, and only go back in 5 more minutes if he is still upset.   so far, we've only needed to go in once before he settles.  (he's also finally learned to sit by himself after pulling up- which used to be a big problem!)

thank you so much for replying.  i am absolutely addicted to this site, and have found so many posts soooooo helpful!
