Night waking - help

[aliss]

LO is 12 weeks, 15lbs, drooling from beginning teething and waking at:
7pm bed
11pm feed
2am feeds
3,330,4 comfort (goes back to bed after cuddle)

5am wakeup

Any ideas??? He used to wake at 1 and 4 always. I'm exhausted! We use oragel and naps are good

How long has LO been doing this? It might be a growth spurt and things will sort themselves out soon.

Ours has just been through this Aliss, and she's the same age as your LO. She is now 16lb 3oz and has just gone through a major growth spurt! She was waking every 2 hours instead of just the once at 4am. It lasted about 5 days and we are now back to 4am again. We did try hungry baby formula for 2 nights but it seemed to make her wake more! We just rode it out...xx

He went through a growth spurt at 11 weeks (I thought the 12 week growth spurt a little early) and then back to normal for a few days, now this for about 3 days. Is it normal for a growth spurt to start, stop for a bit, and start up again?

Oooh dear! That is actually good news then, it never crossed my mind that it's another growth spurt

There is a growth spurt coupled with a leap in developmental growth around the same time at 3 months, so it could be one or the other, or both rearing their ugly heads! I hope it passes quickly for you.

Is it normal for all these feeds to cluster after 2am? lol that's the hard part. I don't mind waking up 2-3x per night (11,2 is not bad at all I dont mind), but every hour/half hour after 2??? EEK

Okay well we'll all just have to get through it! Again! LOL And we haven't even hit the sleep regressions
