9 Month Old- Multiple Night Wakes
Hello everyone!
FTM here! Our 9 month old slept through the night, no wakes, from 4 months to 8 months. He is combo fed since birth.
Around 8 months he started waking up multiple times crying. The majority of the time he wakes up between 7pm and 12am 2-3 times going back to sleep when given his paci and then he’ll either sleep the rest of the night or wake up once on no particular schedule with his paci getting him back to sleep most times. Other times a bottle or boob which I’d prefer not to get in the habit of.
Obviously I am so thankful for the period of time we got full nights sleep, and know we’re still lucky with these slight disruptions but I am curious to know if anyone else has experienced this and if there is anything they ‘did’ to help their LO back to continuous, peaceful sleep.
We have been to our chiro/CST, as well as, to our pediatrician who could not see his eardrum due to wax but there did not seem to be an infection which our CST agreed with. Our pediatrician recommended we put breastmilk in his ear, which we did try and he did sleep well that night but other nights we’ve tried it, nothings changed. Our CST suggested colloidal silver so we’ll be trying that tomorrow night.
Schedule is currently:
\~6:15/6:30 wake
\~9am 1st nap (usually sleeps about 1:20)
\~2pm 2nd nap (sometimes sleeps another 1:20 and others 35 mins)
Bedtime based on last wake window, about 3.75 hours but usually between 6:30 and 7:30.
Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
