we've had A LOT of ups and downs with DS's sleep from birth but we did come to a period a couple of months ago where he was generally settling himself to sleep and sleeping through (maybe waking once or twice). it was absolute heaven after having so long without decent sleep.

DS had probably one night a week or fortnight where he'd wake for about 3 hours, usually from about 2am. he's not screaming in pain or anything - it's like there is just something preventing him from falling asleep again, even if i stay with him.

this has become increasingly worse where he's waking like this up to 5 nights per week. it's been this way for about 3-4 weeks. i feel like we have a newborn again and i'm a little concerned there is something wrong with DS. he has all his teeth and i really can't put it down to anything he eats - i don't allow food additives and he has a very healthy diet.

anyone have any ideas or been through the same thing?
