For the last few nights however something has changed. She will cry many times during the night but when I go in to check on her she still appears to be asleep. Crying in her sleep? I will stroke her face or put the binkie in her mouth or talk softly to her & she immediately settles down into a peaceful state again. Seriously, it’s like I flipped off a switch or something she calms down so fast. But only to repeat this hour or so later.
I don’t know what to do. Is she having bad dreams? When she cries it sounds very distressed so I always come running, but I don’t know what the matter is. She isn’t too cold or anything.
Is this normal? Just a stage she is going through or something? How do I help my baby have good dreams? She was happy when she went to bed & is still always happy when she wakes in the morning.
Juliet met Rascal the wee puppy. Rascal climbed right into her carseat & wanted to play. Juliet wasn't sure what to think about him but she tolerated his presence.

I think it is probably just a stage she is going through to make sure mommy is always there. You are doing the right thing talking to her. Maybe she has bad dreams, but when Zachy has bad dreams we can't settle him down by talking, so hopefully it doesn't get that serious. If you worried about it I would ask the doctor. Good luck!
If you leave her be, does she eventually settle down on her own? Maybe it's just the sleep cycle and she is crying in transition?
Seems a little early for teething, but she could be an early teether. With the boys it was always much before the teeth errupted that they were the fussiest. Also, the hardest to decern what's wrong with them. I used Hylands Teething Tabs. You could pick them up and try a couple. No harm in trying.
Gas??? Could try gas drops? Or Roll her on her side and pat her back to burp her?? Have you been eating something diffent lately?
Or perhaps an uncomfortable PJ or tag, zipper, button, stiching, scratchy blanket? I am (and was) real sensitive to these kinds of things.

weird, I don't know why she does that! I would think just try letting her cry it out once and see if it continues. Sometimes babies 'test' you to see if you are there. I really don't know though. she is so CUTE!
My doctor told me those are night tremors. It is normal for infants. They will get really upset but not really wake up. They may open their eyes but they aren't really awake yet.
I would just soothe her by rubbing her back or tummy and talk to her in a soothing voice. She will go back to sleep.
It's just a phase. She will grow out of it. :)
