sleeping at night

I need some advice. Yes, Sara has a cold but I dont think this is why she is up all night because she is happy all day.

Sara has been sleeping through the night since she is 7 weeks old .....until last week. She is now 8 1/2 months. SInce last week, she wakes up screaming and crying at least three times a night. I dont know what to do anymore. I think I might just let her CIO because when I noticed when I get her she stops crying and smiles. Any suggestions please .... I need sleep.


ETA SHe does have an ear infection however she is on antibiotics and I give her tylenol and dimatapp for congestion.

Shari, I feel your pain! Luka is 6.5 months old and has been sleeping through the night at 6-7 weeks also but for the past two nights has been getting up 4-5 times a night. I have no idea what is going on. I think it might be teeth so maybe that is what is going on with Sara. Last night I had to go to bed at 8:30 because I was so tired and I was worried that he was going to do the same thing as the night before, which he did do!

Amazingly enough I am not tired. Maaaybe it jusst has not hit me yet today. I just dont know. I think it is a habit now.

Would you let your DC cry it out at night?

Jake would do that wen he was getting a tooth. I would just og in ther and rub his back and he would fall back asleeps. It would happen a few times a night for a few days. Hang in there.
