why is he changing his sleep habits

DS is 6m was always such a good sleeper at night but lately he's been getting up at like 3:30 or 4am. He will go back to sleep BUT only for maybe another hour and then he's up again. I'm really b/c I have to get up for work in the am. Is this normal? He doesnt cry right away - he just hangs out and then whines & then cries after a little while.
if you've have experience with this - do they go back to their old sleep habits?

anyone?

Re: why is he changing his sleep habits

Could be a number of things...hungry (growth spurt), teething, cold or hot in his room?

And Christopher does this all the time in phases. He'll go back to through the night

Re: why is he changing his sleep habits

Well I can't speak from personal experience because my kids ( especially ) are terrible sleepers and always have been

However.......it could be a growth spurt or possibly he is about to master a new skill ( I always had this issue with Brandon when he was about to strt to do something new: crawling, standing, walking etc...)

Also could be teeth waking him up

thank you so much....I heart you 2...2 of my favorite LIF people

Its driving me nuts. I dont know if its his teeth b/c he's not upset - he's just awake. He kind of hangs out and then starts crying b/c he wants to be held. I rock him back to sleep and put him down but he's up again soon after Could it be his teeth even if he doesnt seem to be in pain?

The discomfort of the teething may be just enough to jostle him awake, kwim ?

Also, I always like to check the environment ....Neighbor leaving for work at a new time, timers on lights, sprinklers going on, newspaper delivery man pulling into driveway etc...

These little stinkers are hard to figure out aren't they ??
