#asktheexperts Hi! My baby is 7 and half month old. He used to sleep for 8 hours a stretch till 6 months. But after 6th month he is waking up every 2 hours. It doesn’t seem like he is hungry but gets disturbed during sleep. If I feed him immediately he sleeps but keeps on waking up several times during night. Now I can see a teeth in his lower jaw. Is teething the reason for waking up?? How can I calm him?? What can I do to sooth his teething pain?? How can I make him sleep for longer stretch??
