Help!
My baby had been sleeping through the night since she was 3 mos old. Then 1 mo ago she started waking up in the night. She typically wakes up about 3 times crying hard. We go into the room rock her for a few minutes and put her back to bed. I'm not sure why this is happening but we are exhausted! Any ideas for two very tired parents?!

Any child that has been sleeping and suddenly starts waking as you describe has hit another growth spurt. Most kids take a bottle or nurse at night. So figure out when she is waking up and have a bottle ready to feed her and change her while you are at it.

In a few weeks she will go back to sleep as the spurt will be over and the next one should be about 9 to 10 months.

There is no manual with a kid it is all on the job training and each one is different. Good luck to you she will be fine.

Normal growth spurt. She's probably hungry.

I agree, perfectly normal. She is probibly hitting a growth spurt.

hungry... my 14 month old son, started this same thing at 7 months. I had to begin giving him a 4 oz bottle every evening to keep him sleeping. If I let him cry for any length of time he would be awake for hours.
