Ok, we've been doing pretty well with no unexplained nightwakings for a while. If we had them I knew it was because DS was sick or teething etc.
But, the past 2 nights DS has been up 2 times each night (takes 25-60+ mins to get him back to sleep) and I can't figure out why.
He wakes up absolutely screaming like mad. I pick him up to try to assess what's wrong and he stops immediately.
I don't think he is in pain or he wouldn't stop screaming immediately. (I did give Motrin at the first waking last night because he wouldn't calm down and he still woke a second time so I really don't think it was pain or the Motrin would have prevented the second waking).
He isn't sick right now (as far as I know).
This isn't his typical overtired waking.
He doesn't have any props.
He is going through SA during the day...fussy a lot of the time and not playing alone like he used to do
. If it was SA at night though wouldn't he calm down once he saw me or dh?
What am I missing? Night wakings are bad enough when you know what's causing them, but I hate not knowing why and therefore not being able to work toward getting rid of them.
Thanks for any thoughts.
