My 11 m.o. used to be a perfect sleeper since 2 m.o. He has been sleeping through the night and even when he had his first 6 teeth he woke up only one for couple of days only.
But for the last three weeks it has been a nightmare mainly cause i can't understand what is going on and really afraid to do things wrong.
He wakes up two three times a night! I've never used PU/PD method, i use pshpsh and he goes back to sleep. So after he start crying i come to his room, do pshpsh and he stops crying, then i wait till he is trying to get back to sleep, i leave the room and he cries again! Then i stay more, waiting for him to start sleeping. So after he sleeps i leave. Then after couple of hours again he wakes up.
I tried giving him formula after he wake up first at night. After drinking it he doesn't wake up again till morning. But i personally don't want to give him formula as he hasn't been eating at night since 2 m.o.
I took him to our bed after he wakes up first and he slept after without waking up. But sometimes i saw him kinda crying while sleeping which made me think he might have teething pain.
So i am really frustrated what is going on. Is this separation anxiety? Or teething? though during the day naps he sleeps perfectly find alone in his bed (this is why i doubt for separation anxiety) and in a perfect mood (this is why i doubt wether it's teething).
Has anyone experienced this? Any advice?
