aiden has only been home about 3 weeks, he is 6 months old..so i know this is totally different. but his first week here, he was up TOO often....at least 5 times a night. i had to rock him, feed him, and pat him to get him back to sleep. nap time was similar...if it happend at all. dh and i agreed no cio (one doctor suggested this to us) bc he is so little and this is all new for him...so we just pushed through. well, last week this tired mommy took him to a new doctor and he was diagnosed with reflux and put on meds. that night, he got up ONCE, i patted his butt, and he went back to sleep. for the last week, he gets up once or twice, i pat him for 60 seconds, and he is OUT! i know it is bc the meds help! nap still isn't stellar, but at least it is happening.
anyway, my point is, talk to your doctor about it too...sometimes kids with reflux or enlarged tonsills wake up alot in the night. it may have nothing to do with attachment. just a thought.
