We recently moved our LO into his own room. He is 6 1/2 months olds. His crib was in the sitting room part of our bedroom that was far enough from our bed to be considered a small bedroom for him. Anyways, the first night LO slept in his own room was horrible.....he woke up a couple of times crying really bad like he had a bad dream. He kept crying for almost 1/2 hour. We changed his diaper and tried to comfort him but he wasn't going to go back to sleep. So I thought maybe he was hungry so I offered him a small 4oz bottle (not sure if that was the right thing to do) and he drank the entire bottle. But LO was still having a hard time going back to sleep. DS has been sleeping thru the night when he was in our room but will wakeup occassionally when he loses his pacifier. Before, I'd pat and shhh and that would be enough. Hardly had to pick him up. Or we'd leave him in his crb and he'd roll around and fall back asleep if he woke up. But now I'm
stumped as to what's going on now and not sure what to do.
This is LO second night in his new room and he's crying again (it's 2am). He will stop crying if I pick him up and cradle him but I know that's a bad habit. And I don't want to offer another bottle. The bottle I offered yesterday night ruined his morning bottle (he didn't drink much of it this morning). Any ideas what could be causing him to wakeup? Should I ignore his cries? He cries really badly and will cry if I put him down in his crib. I don't want to move LO back into our room but not sure how to help him sleep thru the night again. Could he be scared of his room?
Our schedule looks like this:
8am, 12pm, 4pm, 7pm, 11pm (DF) - EAT
10am, 2pm - SLEEP
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
