6 month old teething and trouble sleeping! HELP!
« on: December 07, 2007, 18:27:41 pm »
Hi! My LO will be 6 months this Sunday and just started teething. He has been sleeping through the night since 16 weeks and all of the sudden he has been waking up in the middle of the night. I thought maybe at first it was because he was getting over being sick and was not eating as much during the day and before bedtime, but he ate like he normally does, last night, and woke up at 12:40. I tried everything to get him back to sleep. Nothing would work so after 45 minutes I gave in and gave him a bottle. I really don't want this to become a bad habit. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do ???  I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!

Did he eat the entire bottle?

6 months is a huge growth spurt for LOs and it's not unusual for them to need a night feed at that point for a few days or a week, even if they hadn't needed it before.
