Hi! My lo started to wake several times at night shortly after df. We've df since he was 8 weeks, and he rarely woke for hunger. He now wakes, usually 20 min to 1 hour after df and it can go on for a few hours... He settles easily when I give him my hand or just stand by his crib. He's on a 4-5 hour EASY, 3 solid meals a day(started at 5mos), is bf (4 times) and formula for df (7oz). He uses a paci to fall asleep, usually stays asleep when it fall...and he can put it back in himself. He has two bottom teeth... not sure if he is teething some more; not crawling, sitting well.... I thought it may be separation anxiety - but not sure how that manifests itself at night - he sleeps well in the day... 2 naps (am 9:30 for 1.5 to 2 hours and pm at 2:30-3 for 1:15 to 1:30) bedtime at around 7 -7:30. Falls asleep in crib; I hold him until that long stare, occasional droopy eyed and in bed. He has a lovey, but doesn't really go for it.(?) I read that at this age the df could be causing night wakings? I tried a few weeks ago to stop the df, by reducing oz and time - but at 4oz (8:30 pm) he began to wake- maybe coincidence bc he seemed ill -
so I went back to df the very next day. Should I try cold turkey? He always seems to drink his df - even if not hungry?! How would I know if its the df or sep. anxiety that causes his waking? Thanks
