Baby Stopped Sleeping Through Night

[Deleted]

My son was sleeping from 8-3 sometimes 8-5.

At about 5 months, he stopped and started waking up at 11, 3, 6 and then for the day (give or take)

We stopped swaddling and changed to a zippedee zip, but they change didn't really coincide.

Any ideas?

Sounds like the 4 month wakeful (which can hit early or late). Babies change the way they sleep at that time and arouse between sleep cycles. They need to learn to put themselves back to sleep. It's a rough time for sleep. I think it only lasted 5-6 days for us...but it can last longer.

I'm sorry.

DD went though a period of this recently starting around 4+ months.  We had about a month and a half of random waking nights with multiple wake ups.  Not every night, but consistently waking.  We also unswaddled and changed to the Merlin around that time.  It also coincided to when I went back to work, so not sure if that was true for you too. She's 6 months now and is (fingers crossed) just coming out of it.   She now's back to sleeping about 8-4, 8-5 on a good night.

Also, possibly teething.  She cut 2 teeth last week and is still going and on Sunday was up every hour between 9:30 and 1 and then again at 4.  Last night she slept about 8:15 to 5:45, so who the hell knows.

And thanks for answering! I realized I put this on the wrong board:)
