Is there something wrong with him?? UPDATE

[Aplatel87]

All of a sudden my wonderful "sleep-thru-the-night-with-the-exception-of-a-nighttime-bottle" baby boy has gone COMEPLETELY MIA, and I am left with this little monster that decides to LITERALLY wake up screaming as soon as my head hits the pillow (he has his own room so the reason for this is unknown). As soon as I get him back to sleep (usually with rocking and another bottle for 30 minutes to an hour, ugh) I am wide awake for an hour or two. And I kid you not, the MOMENT I start to drift off guess what happens?? We are both usually up before the sun after MAYBE 4 hours a sleep on a good night. It has been like this for the past 2 weeks. What's happening??? Is he hurting???

I am gonna go do some research about toddler's sleeping habits so if ANYONE has any advice let me know! I start work in a few days and it's a morning-time job (6-2) and I NEED SLEEP!! :(

It must've been a growth spurt of some sort because he is just fine now! Sleeps well, eats well, etc. I'm a happy mommy!

whats he sleeping in? did you just switch him to a big bed...maybe he is not used to it. could he be having bad nightmares? have you tried seeing what happens if you guys cosleep? my oldest son usually ends up in our beds most nights. i think when he gets up to go to the bathroom around 2 or 3 he creeps into the bed. unless he is real tired and sleeps through the entire night. i dont know what else to say but do some research and try all your options. goodluck!

Could he be in a growth spurt?
