Whats happened???
Phoebe has been sleeping through the night from approximately 10 weeks but now at the age of 17 weeks she has started to wake up between 4 and 4:30 am crying. She hasn't had a night feed for weeks but last night she was so hysterical I gave her the boob. She didn't take much before falling asleep again.
I feel like we are going backwards as all of the books state how most babies start sleeping through from 4 months. I really don't know what to do as our routine hasn't changed.
Anyone else experiencing similar?

We havn't experienced this as DS hasn't slept through yet, but we wereb talking about this at baby group yesterday. The HV said its common for babies to start waking in the night again between 4-5 montyhs old. It's apparently a common misconception that this means your baby is ready to be weaned, but in reality it's just normal for babies to start waking again at this time when they previously slept through. Hope that helps.
I'm still waiting for the joy of him sleeping through!

I just go in and stroke her head (don't pick her up or put lights on) and put her mobile on which sends her to sleep again. We don't know why she is doing it - I was worried she was having a nightmare but Oh isn't convinced!
Ella is 17 weeks also - will let you know how she gets on - I am hoping it's just a phase as she has been such a great sleeper!
Equally perplexed! :? but you are not alone x
Is your little one sleeping alot in day?
Last night she woke again but I left her and within 15 minutes she had settled herself hopefully she has cracked it.... again
LinzLiv - she has a nap in the morning between 9 and 10 and then usually between 1pm and 3
Hopefully, if it is to do with a growth spurt it won't last too long - I'd gotten used to sleep depravation but this is too much
