My baby is 11 months old and started sleeping through the night quite early. However recently he would cry for no reason in the middle of the night randomly (though it happens most often from 4am) and at times he would sit up to cry. It would take me a while to put him to bed and calm him down..... Any advice on what is happening and how to solve it? I tried CIO one night and I really feel it is not for me nor him - so any advice other than CIO is much appreciated. We are very tired and want our sleep back. Thank you.....

My baby did that past few days for 3 consecutive days and that time we are staying at my in laws after long time not staying there and most likely because she does not use to that place or she was just too tired that slightest noise or movements annoys her. We are having events at my in laws for those days and she has been waking up for quite a long time than usual. Try waking her up if he cries and let he see his surroundings or bring around the house and told him its ok he can go back to sleep. Hug him warmly. I did that to my daughter during her cries and she did fall back to sleep. Now we are back to our room, she is okay and never cry again at night so i assume the above.
