Can anyone offer help/advice for my situation??
My daughter is 3 1/2 mos old - she's on the EASY routine - eating about every 3 hrs during the day. By 1 month, she was only waking once/night (after a 10:00 DF), & going right back to sleep. Then at 11 weeks, she slept thru the night for a week straight. She got an ear infection & started waking up in the night at 12 weeks. She could be soothed back to sleep by my husband without needing to eat (we really didn't think she was hungry). After the ear infection cleared, she woke up once/night for a couple nights, but only cried a minute & got herself back to sleep. Now, she's waking 2 times/night & cries, but won't get herself back to sleep.
I'm confused - she doesn't go to sleep with a pacifier, no props are used (she's swaddled & put down drowsy, but awake, & sucks on her thumb/fingers). She falls asleep just fine with soothing herself. Why would she not be able to do this in the night now, when she has before??
Thanks for any help anyone has to give - I appreciate it!!!
