Well, usually our problem has been naps, but the past week has brought night wakings too. I think the first three nights were related to a growth spurt--he'd wake up super hungry and go right back to sleep, but then he'd wake up 2 hours later, then one hour later, not hungry but needing to be breastfed to settle down.
AFter 3 nights of this, we had two good nights--sleeping through till 6 after a 10pm dreamfeed.
But then the wakings came back. For the last three nights he's been waking up again--3x last night!
He's often waking up unswaddled, so that could be the culprit. I've tried doing it tighter, but to no avail. He's too strong, but he still wants it. What to do? (BTW, I tried the Aussie swaddle this morning but it didn't seem tight enough around the arms so I went back to the old technique.)
Also, when he awoke at 2:50 last night, he seemed kind of hungry--still a growth spurt? Do they disappear and come back like that? How long to growth spurts last?
My first son was a terrible napper but had great nights, so I don't know how to deal with this. It's so discouraging, and my husband is getting to the let-him-cry-I-need-sleep point. Help!
