10 Month Old Is Waking up Twice at Night, and Not Sleeping Threw the Night

I had the same problem as you with my son at that age and if it makes you feel any better my son just turned two in august and he still wakes up 2-3 times a night(some of which he is having night terrors),but best of luck to you!!

Part of it is the teething. Imagine how it must feel to have teeth bursting through your gums...OW! Babies do make chewing motions in their sleep and if he bumps that sore spot I am sure it wakes him up. It isn't always because they are hungry that they wake up. =) Cuddle him, comfort him, even rub his gums gently. Unfortunately this is one of those times that you are going to be VERY tired! But you know what? They grow out of it very quickly and some day you will look back and wish you could have 10 minutes of holding your precious baby...even if it is 4am.
Just when you get used to them being in one stage they will go onto something else...roll with it. =)

My boy didn't start sleeping throught the night until they were about 3. I think some kids just have their own "clock".

I think you're son is just growing :O) I know you're tired, but I don't think there is anything you can do about it, that you haven't already tried. Babies will "adjust" their own schedule as needed.......we just have to adjust with them.

My sister's kids began sleeping through the night at 4 months old and never stopped! All 3 of them. I don't think she's in "the norm"....but she sure was lucky!

Get rest when you can, and go with it during the night. In my opinion, it's a very normal happening.

~N. :O)

If this has only been going on for two weeks and your baby was previously sleeping through the night, then I would make sure that nothing is wrong before you try any sleep training. But I don't agree with the other moms here -- you can train your baby to sleep through the night if you want to! Or you may want to just remove the midnight feeding and feed him once, at 4-5am, until you think he's ready to give up that last night feeding. (I think my baby gave it up around one year, although my doctor said I could remove it at 6 months.) In my experience teething pain wasn't usually the cause of the night waking -- or maybe it was for a few nights, but then the night waking became a habit. What we did was let baby cry it out, while going in and patting her & comforting her every 10-15 minutes until she fell asleep. Don't give the bottle. You have to be consistent -- if you slip up even once, it sends mixed messages to your baby. Good luck, hope you get some sleep soon!

I am in the exact same boat with my son: same age, same problem, same stage (crawling and pulling himself up). When he turns food away, I stop feeding him. I think he is truly done eating. He eats every 3 hours and always seems full when done. He eats cereal w/formula (this seemed to help him sleep through the night at first) and Gerber baby food. His teeth are bothering him too. I use Hylands teething tablets during the day w/baby orajel and that seems to help. On the truly difficult nights where I can tell they are hurting him a lot more, I give him infant Tylenol. I think this is a natural occurrence of waking during the night due to a growth spurt and teething. Don't worry this too shall pass. I feed my son before bed cereal if it's not too late like 7 or 8pm or a bottle (4-6oz)if it's much later. He has some nights where he does sleep through the night! There is no rhyme or reason meaning if I keep him on schedule ( he eats every 3 hours if not 2 hrs sometimes), regular naps, staying home, not sleeping enough during the night so you think he'd sleep through the night, a lot of interaction by seeing people or going out shopping. So having said all that make sure he's getting enough to eat at every meal but once he lets you know he's done eating then let him be done, try giving him watered down cereal w/formula and Gerber solid food, regular naps as much as possible, keep giving your baby Baby Orajel, Teething tablets and Infant Tylenol when needed for the teething and this stage too shall pass. Hang in there!

Maybe he has grown and is still hungry. My son used to wake up every two hours for four ounces (it was crazy), then his Dr. told me to give him a little ceral with his milk. it worked. My son was 10 mos. when that started, you may have to try different things.

In addition to the advice you've already received, keep in mind that sleep patterns change. Naps are dropped, bed times are adjusted, etc. When he was learning to walk, my son would wake up at night and immediately start "practicing" then realize that he was tired - but also very excited about the walking thing...he just couldn't put himself back to sleep.
My husband and I would trade off, he took the first waking - rocking or patting him back to sleep; and I took the second one - nursing him and then patting him back to sleep. That way each of us got to sleep through one "session."
Sleep training doesn't work for every family, nor does it work for every child. Babies need their parents at night too.
