honestly, babies are so sketchy at that age when it comes to sleep. i'd say it took us until our son was 3-4 months old before we got him on any kind of sleep schedule. is he waking up in pain and hard to console, or is he just waking up and either eating or just wanting to hang out? if he's waking more to eat he could be going through a growth spurt (they do that a lot the first few months). if he's just waking up to hang out then it could just be him going through a change in sleep cycles. like i said, it's too early to do sleep training now so as long as he seems in good spirits and nothing seems off in terms of eating or output (wet and dirty diapers) i think you'll just have to roll with it. just because he was sleeping through the night three days ago doesn't mean he won't do a 180 degree turn for the next few days and wake at all hours. the joy of infants, eh? :) hope he gets himself back on a good schedule so you can get back to getting some rest! good luck!

My little girl did the same thing and the reason was she had colic. You might want to try Little Tummys and talk to your pediatrician

He might be trying to get the feeling of a new place. All the new smells, noises, etc. I'd give it a week or so for him to get back in his routine. Routine is very important to keep a schedule but anything can mess that up, being sice, growth spurts, teething, moving, etc. Good Luck.

You could take one of his blankets and sleep with it and then place in his crib, 10wks is kinda young for a blanket but maybe the bed sheet. Your choice. This will give him the comfort of having you there all night. My husband had to do this with his 1st. He couldn't leave for work with the baby thinking he was there.

I'm not sure if your baby is breastfed or formula fed, but when my son was a newborn he was waking up every 45 minutes. He was breastfed at the time and I started thinking he wasn't getting enough to eat. I pumped an 8oz bottle and that solved the problem. He started sleeping a lot longer, both of us did! If he is formula fed, then I guess it could be anything. My son never slept good in a bassinet or pack n play either. He always slept the best in his crib; I just think the crib mattress is more comfortable. Good luck!

It could be anything, or everything. Growth spurt, developmental milestone, gas... It will pass. I know it stinks right now, but it gets better.

I went through the EXACT same thing... Are u breast feeding and/or pumping? if breast fdng.. u should definately try to pump to see how much is coming out n how much th baby is getting.. He/she may not be getting enough... also their stomachs are so smll that they can only fill up so much n then they.re hungry again.. if u keep that baby well fed this may be the key to more sleep... also swaddle swaddle swaddle! nice n firm.. there.s a lot of good swaddling things out there seriously invest!!! i discoverd this w. my 2nd child n wish somebody told me these things exsisted n were so effective when my first was born!!!

My son does the same thing and he is 16 weeks old.. I dont know the answer nor am I going to pretend that I do. with my son when he gets like this its because he is either still hungry because he didnt finish his bottle, cranky because he is tired and just cant go to sleep on his own, or he wants to be held for a little while.. what have you already tried?

I was having the same problem. Swaddling wasn't working(she hated that) and I did have to switch her from breast milk to formula because like Cindy said I was producing enough and she was still hungry. This works amazing for me and ever baby is different but when she wakes up to eat I feed her the bottle, burp her and change her diaper then I put her in her swing and turn the music on she loves it and she will sleep until like 10am its great! It's not bad for them to sleep I. There swing if that's the only way they will sleep or atleast be content do u can get some sleep go for it:))

My son is 10 months. Ever since he was about 2 months old he slept through the night. About a month and a half ago he got thrush. Now he wakes up every 3-4 hours even though it's been gone for a month. He may have thrush. I had no idea until I saw the white blisters in his mouth apparently its very common. Good luck!

Hope this has gotten better for you. I went through the same thing around 5 months. He got way off track. Around July, I started making sure he got wind down time. I started walking with him in his soft carrier before bedtime and he started sleeping much better. He went from waking 6-8x/night to 2.
