I’m at my mother in laws for the month visiting and my baby used to wake up 1 (sometimes twice) at night now he is waking almost 4 times a night… what could cause this change?? How do I get him back on track or sleeping through the night? Help I need sleep!!
He’s out of his element and in a new place
He’s not in the comfort of his own bed/home. If you have anything blankets etc… from home put them by him when he goes to sleep at night. Otherwise if you’re there for a whole month he will be used to that smell by the time it’s time for you to go home
It’s a new environment after a couple of days he will be fine
He’s not use to this new environment
New place. Also depending on age sleep regression or separation anxiety.
My 9 month slept thorough the night religiously until about 3 nights ago. Wakes up at 12:00 every night and it takes like an hour to put him back down, he’s not comfortable unless it’s with me. But it’s a phase that will pass.
Sound machines help a lot, the heart beat sound has always been my go to for both my kids. Try and just maintain consistency in your bedtime routine, bath, sounds, toys etc. good luck!
It’s the new place. Give lots of reassureance your there. And try anything to give him a sense of home.
My daughter had a favorite movie we would bring with us if we to visit family for holidays and stayed. It had to be that certain movie- no others wrkd to comfort her lol
New places stress baby’s out. Try putting a used shirt of yours or a blanket to keep him more comfortable at night time
