Hi tired mom! Of course your baby will start sleeping through the night again, but it is hard to say how fast. I assume your baby doesn't feed at night, since you say he wakes up for the pacifier? You could try to take it away... <a href="http://www.easybabylife.com/pacifier-dependence.html">Here is a way to do it.</a> Other than that, you can of course also try to feed him a little bit more in the evening as well as look over all other <a href="http://www.easybabylife.com/baby-sleep.html">sleep routines.</a> Wish you good luck! /Paula

My child is about 5 months old as well, and I can tell you that I understand what you are going through. At about a month ago he slept through the night after we finally adjusted his feeding schedule correctly and began waking him up at about 8 PM until 9 PM. My first suggestion would be to check his feeding schedule, though if he is taking a pacifier, this may not be the problem. My second suggestion is, if you suspect that hunger is waking him up, you should feed him more baby food before feeding him a bottle to sooth him. My suggestion if food is not the issue is to check his teething. My son has begun teething in a big way. He is chomping and drooling and often uncomfortable, and I can also see the white teeth about to pop up. If he is having these symptoms, I would give him about half a dose of infant Tylenol or some oragel right before his last bottle. If he is chomping at his pacifier, he is possibly trying to get comfort from mouth pain. Good luck with your sleep! Everything looks brighter when you get this resolved, I promise.
