Noah has always been a great sleeper, sleeping through right from bout 4 weeks. but latly hes been waking more and more often durin the night first once or twice then every three hours and just befor he woke 2 hours after i put him down. im about to cry. because i feel like its my fault and hes not getting enough sleep. i dont no what to do. it shouldnt be teething as he has just got his bottem two teeth and i didnt relise until someone else pointed it out to me. !!!!! he shouldnt be hungry he is putting on weight really well like 10 kgs at 5 months i have also resorted to giving him some rice porridge at night instead of at lunch. hes def not cold. he has 2 45 min naps and a 2 hour one during the day. mayb i should let him cry it out? but that breaks my heart and he sleeps in my room as well.
im going to try plunket tommorow but i no we dont have a family center here so does that mean we dont have a sleep school? any suggestions would be appericated |

How old is he now?? You say something about 5 months old but when was that? Could he have wind?? ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

when you say lately do you mean just in the last week, or has it been longer than that.
cause i know that eden has gone thru phases of about a week of night waking and wanting to be fed and it seemed very random. prior to that she was also a good sleeper. i just kept up with the routine the way it always was and she just went back to sleeping thru. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

ok if he is waking and not upset then i would just leave him and see if he will settle himself back to sleep when he has finished having a chat and wiggle. maybe he is waking cause he finds you too noisy. i know some people have found their baby sleeps better when not in their room. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">
