My 9 month old wakes anywhere from 2-5 times a night and sometimes does not settle again for over an hour and then he wakes up in the morning between 5-6. Im exhausted !! Tonight he woke at 1:45am and started to whine and even sat up and whined, I was watching the monitor and was waiting for a real cry but it didn’t come. He lay down whined a little bit more and went back to sleep after around 5 minutes maybe less. Is this CIO??? I don’t want him to think I won’t go to him if he needs me but he didn’t cry he was just moaning and whining no proper cry. I’m scared incase he only went back to sleep because he thought I wasn’t coming.

No, it’s not CIO. Either he wasn’t properly awake or he is able to soothe himself back to sleep on his own. It would take several repetitions of you not coming before he assumes you wouldn’t come.

No, he wasn’t even crying.
