Let me throw this query out for all of the experienced moms out there. . . My beautiful sleeper (Believe me, I realize what a blessing it has been to have Cora start sleeping through the night at 10 weeks!) has suddenly started waking up sporadically during the night. By sporadically, I mean, she will wake up and fuss. We put the pacifier back in her mouth. She'll sleep for 20 or so minutes, and then, the process begins again. This could go on for a couple of hours before she really gets to sleep again. Does this sound normal? Is this related to her growth spurt? I'm so tempted to feed her again because I know she'll go back to sleep. However, I've heard you're not supposed to do that once they start sleeping through the night. I've tried letting her cry it out, but she'll cry for over an hour. Poor baby didn't even take a nap this afternoon until I relented to the crying and held her. Then, she fell asleep immediately. Can anyone else relate? Any advice?

It sounds like it may be a growth spurt...they tend to hit them around 3 months. When my kids hit random waking-up spurts, I would rock them for a while and if that didn't put them back to sleep, I'd give in and feed them. You may only have to do it for a few nights until your daytime milk supply starts to keep up with the increased amount Cora wants. Does that make sense? Just my thoughts :) Love the rasberry video!
