this is not super unusual for a baby that age, especially if EBF, and rice cereal is unlikely to help much. BTDT. is baby hungry each time he wakes? [ Reply | More

then i don't see what CIO will do, esp at thai age. he can self soothe already. he's probably hungry most of the time he wakes up. if ebf, have dad handle it when you think baby isn't hungry and he may drop those wakings. [ Reply | More

My 5m old now sleeps through the night. I thought he was hungry when waking up, but one day I just gave him back his pacifier and he went back to sleep. Important not to pick him up.
