My little man is a little over 7 months, and has been doing so good with sleeping for the past 3-4 months. But for about the last 2ish weeks, he has been waking us up during the night. And he screams for us! It isn't one of his normal sounding cries. Anyway, we get up and check on him, and calm him down without picking him up, but he just carries on and on. So usually we'll make him a bottle, and he goes back to sleep for a few hours. Some nights he'll get up a ton, and other nights he'll get up just a couple of times. We have tried tylenol in case his teeth are bothering him, but that only has worked once or twice. We have tried feeding him more before bed, we've tried putting him to bed earlier, we've tried naps throughout the day, but nothing is working. And during the day he is happy as can be, so I don't think he is sick or anything. I don't remember my DD going through this when she was his age. Does anyone have any ideas of why he is waking? I recently read that between 6-9 months some babies start waking more often because of their rapid pace of development, but I don't know how true that is.
