i have a 7month old daughter and she started sleeping through the night at 2 weeks old. Two weeks ago she started waking up 2 or 3 times a night for no reason. My doctor said its either teething or she was getting not enough "wind-down-time" before bed. Everything has to be calm and not alot of noise. I know it's hard if you have a loud family but try it. If it is teething, try teething rings, baby orajel, or a cold wash cloth. If the pain is too bad, baby tylenol is good too. But I would try the "wind-down" thing first...it has worked for me the last three nights.

Good Luck Hun!!!

my son changed his sleep at 4 months. he would sleep 10-8 but now he wakes up 1-2 times a night before even 7 comes around.

Could be a growth spurt. Or just normal stuff.. babies change a lot in the first year, including with sleep. Hang in there.. it will get better!

its actually very common at this age for babies to wake up through out the night. Is your little one teething? That seems to be the number one reason for mid night wake ups. You can also start training your son to be a self soother if he isn't teething. There's alot of good information on that online! Good luck.
