Our 10-month-old DS was sleeping beautifully through till about 6am - hardly a lie in but pretty respectable. But now he wakes at 4.30 or 5.30 in the morning. Well, I say he wakes, but often he just cries in his sleep and gets crosser and crosser but still has his eyes shut. When we go into him, we just stroke his head quickly and hand him his muslin and he usually settles again, but not always. We have no idea what's waking him up, as it's light long before he wakes, and there are no weird noises.
When he was diddy, we did get him used to sleeping on his own with a much less hard core version of controlled crying, where you comfort your baby regularly and frequently, rather than at longer and longer intervals. It worked well for him, and he was always pretty good at getting to sleep by himself. But not any more by golly.
Any ideas or tips gratefully received!
