Currently my 5m14d baby was waking up at night for 4-5times almost every 2 hours. Tried to feed her but seems not hungry as she just sucked for few minutes than mouth not released but fall asleep again. Just happened these two weeks and she used to woke up once at 3am before that. If she woke up and not hungry, she will fall asleep again if my hubby hug her. Now she will cry until I feed her. Anyone any idea?

Leaps of all healthy children occur at about the same age, but children show different levels of intensity when they go through a leap. The first phase is the difficult period which is marked by the three C's and consists of crying more, and being abnormally clingy and cranky.
