9 month old night-wakings!
DS is 9 months old and has been such a good sleeper - waking once a night. for the past week he's been waking up twice, even three times a night. his first time as early as 8pm!
he has 2 relatively good naps during the day, has a lot of activity time and goes down at 6.30pm latest. when he wakes up i try to give him a sip of water but he turns is head away. i manage to get him back to sleep upon his first wake up, but thereafter he wants to be fed. have i created a sleep-association with feeding him to sleep? am i asking a rhetorical question? :D he stands in his cot moaning (not crying) and we leave him with the hope that he will fall asleep by himself - he used to do it - but not any more. he will stand there till i go in and then he wants a feed.
i know there's a growth spurt at 9 months, could this be the reason? he is also cruising like a trooper, walking is imminent - could that keep him up too? any suggestions?
also, with a 6.30pm bed-time, why does the little rascal wake up at 5am (or even before!) to start his day? i know getting him to bed later is not going to help at all - but how can i get him to sleep a little later? his room is DARK so no light issues there.
any suggestions?
