Tired all the time

[channy]

My little guy is 5 months old on Monday (can not believe it). Lately he has been really unsettled (though never been fantastic) at night and waking up wanting his dummy back constantly and gets really bad wind. During the day he used to be a 30-40min sleeper. This morning he woke up at about 7.45 and was ready for a sleep again by 9.00am. He slept till about 9.40am and then went down for a sleep again just after 11.00 and slept till about 12.40pm which is strange for him. He was really cranky and upset as well and he fell asleep in his rocker at about 2.00pm. What could be wrong for him to want to sleep so much. I don't think his feeding is much different, he is just acting different. Thanks all.

As your son is hitting that 5 month mark you may find he is needing more food.... have you started him on solids yet? We started my DS as 4.5 months because of similar things to what is happening to you.... he was a different baby from that day on....

It could also be a growth spurt or perhaps he is coming down with something....
keep your eyes out for other signs of illness just in case.
