My little guy hit it early and has yet to recover at 4.5 months. BUT, he's back down to waking just once which is much more doable.

I finally figured out that I didn't need to be going into his room at the 2 a.m. call out. I just turned off the monitor and went back to sleep one night, out of pure exhaustion.

Something that seemed to really help us (she went from waking 2-3 times to only once) was a combination of waiting and observing her cries before going in (Le Pause - I think you know about this and probably already do it) and WHEN we would go in we didn't turn on any lights (even in another room), we didn't interact at all with her (talking, smiling, massaging, etc) which was really hard for me even in the middle of the night, we didn't change her unless she was soaking through, and we'd give her some food. Sometimes we'd just rock with her and not give any food if we knew she'd had plenty before going to sleep. It seemed like she really wanted to hang out so when we didn't give that she started sleeping through the night more regularly. She still wakes up sometimes but less and less. Oh and one more thing which may sound kinda weird - I really believe putting her in her crib BEFORE she was asleep helped. I think it taught her how to fall asleep without us or a bottle or anything else etc. Sorry if you have tried one or all of these things and it's still not working. I hope he comes around soon. :)Maiken Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495967526081760892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-81117510695080468122013-09-30T08:08:49.035-04:002013-09-30T08:08:49.035-04:00Fabulous article writing.

He was waking up constantly and we couldn't figure out why. We swaddled him, tested him for a milk allergy, let him cry it out, and his pediatrician said it was maybe acid reflux and put him on medicine....all wrong. After speaking to my mom and watching him nap through out the day (he would always fall asleep on his tummy mat) my husband and I had an epiphany one night and did the simple task off taking off the swaddler and laying him down on his stomach. That night at 4 months old my son slept through the night like a rock and has ever since (he is now 2 1/2) unless he is sick/teething. He didn't have a milk allergy or acid reflux, he didn't want to be swaddled, he just wanted to sleep on his stomach. It was that easy. We didn't do any sleep training or try any special method. I know all kids are different and what worked for mine may obviously not work for others but I thought I'd throw it out there.
