Vienna was a tad fussy last night. She woke up, crying a couple times. We rocked her back to sleep; then around 1AM, she would wake up every few minutes.
We tried the baby motrin and orajel, guessing it must be teething. We tried the swing. She used to love the swing, letting it lull her back to sleep, but now she fights being strapped in.
We even let her sleep with me, thinking she might be comforted (co-sleeping is a very rare 'treat' around here since momma needs/likes her space) but nope, she just tossed and turned, whimpering.
She was like this about a month ago and only after the bottle did she settle down--they both stopped taking the bottle throughout the night when they hit 12lbs (at 3-4mos), which is enough sustainable body fat, instead they have their paci & bears for comfort.
So by 2AM, gave her the bottle and she drank 6oz on the first gulp. Then out like a light and not a peep after.
And this morning, she drank her regular 7AM, 7oz breakfast bottle. Chalk it up to a growth spurt!

I hate those nights. Last night was bad here too, then, this AM they ate twice as much as usual. It didn't occur to me until I read your post...growth.
