5 month old has started waking an hour after bedtime

[em657]

Hi all,

My little girl is 5 months and for the past 2 weeks keeps waking up crying an hour after going to bed. I normally just give her the dummy back and she goes straight back to sleep for the whole night.

She eats well during the day and has 4 x 45 minute naps with the last nap ending at 5pm so she is awake for a full 2 hours before her 7pm bedtime.

Any ideas of why she is waking or what I could do to help?

Thanks

My DD went through a phase of this. I think she was just having trouble linking that first sleep cycle. She grew out of it a couple of months later.
