This sounds like night terrors. We rock him to sleep and sing to him, but lately when we put him down he wakes right back up or he will sleep for about an 30 mins. He keeps this up all night. We have tried letting him cry for a while, but he just continues until we pick up or put him in the bed with us. We do feed him at night most of the time he will go to sleep during the feeding, but he wakes up when we try to lay him down.
Baby is very active awake AND asleep.
Thanks for any help, suggestions. He is young to get night terrors but this sounds like it. Make sure to note any possible medical symptoms like vomiting or spitting up. You can also check for pinworms at night, this is done by looking at his anal opening at night, that is when you see pinworms. Once I have rocked him to sleep, I gently place him in his crib and he wakes up.
