In the last 4 nights my son (8months) wakes up at 4.30am, he's been sick (diarrea) but in the last 3 days he's fine. We gave him milk but last night just drunk 100ml and couldn't be back to sleep until 5.45am. Before he was very good , waking up at @ 7.30am,,,,Also we notice that during the day he doesn't sleep much either,,,,Tonight I'm thinking to leave him cry , no milk , no cuddle him,,,,Any suggestion/comment?

Well, it has only been four nights. Give it time. Also he was just sick.
Once you've checked that he hasn't pooped in the diaper, give him a nice pat and a quiet word but don't pick him up, then go back out. Wait 6 minutes, then repeat.

Hi there,
Yes, poor baby has been sick. Don't make him suffer by crying for a long time, with no cuddles!
If you search the threads here, you will see lots of advice (some from Axptguy38) about how to use the cry it out method - which is basically not letting them cry for very long, especially young babies...
But I would say, if you can manage with little sleep, just wait a few days and see if he gets back to his old routine, as he's just been sick.

I had a similar experience when my son was around 7-8 moths old. Suddenly he was waking up many times during the night and that was driving me crazy! It was because he was teething. I would give him milk and put him to sleep. He was back to normal after about two weeks. I think you should be a little more patient with your baby specially because he is recovering.

It took my baby 1-2 weeks to get back to `normal` after he was sick. I think they just get used to waking up, and perhaps your baby is not 100% well yet since it`s only been a few days.
