Hi all,
My lovely six and a half month old has been going through a rough patch. He usually would sleep at least three hours in a row since birth, never had colics, and in the previous couple of months often did eight or nine hours of uninterrupted sleep.
It all changed four weeks ago. Now he goes to bed with a good feed at the usual time, nine, but until a couple of hours later he wakes every ten to thirty minutes screaming, often really loud. Then, during the night, the same thing happens, every two to thee hours.
We ssshhh him to sleep again, or when it is really loud I latch him on and he goes back to bed after a medium sized drink.
He never does that during his day naps, about four of forty minutes throughout the day. We started him on solids a few weeks ago, he loves them. He has one meal - usually what we have for dinner - around seven thirty, and then my milk on and off until nine.
Has this happened to your child? Do you have any ideas? I thought it was the six month growth spur, but it is a bit too long I think. Or teething, but then should he not cry during the day, too?
Thank you!
