What do you do with a baby

[inscotland]

that wakes in the night? Say around 4 am and that it is not through hunger having only been fed an hour or so beforehand.

BTW he's 21 weeks on Friday

How long is he awake for?

Do you co-sleep?

check they have been winded properly

give a big cuddle and pat back to sleep

Pop in and tell him to go to back to sleep and then leave him to it.

He can wake and that will be him but if we bring him in with us he'll sleep until 6 ish. Thing is he's quite a noisy sleeper so finding it hard to get a decent amount of sleep myself.

Happy co-sleeping so have been wondering if he's waking because he's cold. We've got a kingsize bed and he sleeps between us but at head level so he's getting heat from both of us as well as the bottom of his body being covered by the downie which is feather.

He's going to bed in a long sleeved vest, sleepsuit and 2.5 tog growbag which according to my current room temp of 17.5 degrees is the correct amount of clothes for temperature.

He's probably making a fuss because he knows it gets him what he wants-snuggled up in your bed.

Think you have two choices, but I'm sure some people will have more suggestions, either continue as you are or cry it out.
