Developmental stage

Both of my 2 did the same thing. In my opinion they were simply more aware of their surroundings, could roll and were learning to sit, and had not yet learnt to put themselves back to sleep. So it was a developmental stage. They wake up and shout for mum (or dad). Best thing if you can is to try and encourage them back to sleep without nursing, or picking up. Saying that - I did both of those things until they were abit older. Not tough enough I am afraid, but my friends who were willing to use controlled crying or some other technique had more sleep than me. :)
