Gayle,

Have you tried putting Andy in bed with you? Maybe he just needs the
closeness. You all might get more sleep and this way he won't wake up the
other two. It doesn't sound like teething is the cause, otherwise he would
probably be in more distress. It sounds as though he just needs to adjust
to the day/night cycle.

My triplets are 6 mo old already. Hard to believe. They started sleeping
through the night when they were around a month old. When they were 4 mo.
old, my mom went back home. From that moment on, they have been waking up
at different times through the night. This is not really the problem. I
knew they probably needed time to adjust. However, Andy, wakes up early
and
won't go back to sleep. Sometimes it's 5:00, sometimes it's 3:00, but
lately it's been 1-2:00 am and he's up ready to play and it takes a good
hour to get him to go back to sleep. I can't handle this on a regular
basis. Especially when the other two tend to still get up once for a
feeding. It doesn't matter what time we have put him to bed. He usually
falls asleep around 6-7 pm, but there have been times when it has been 10
pm
and he still wakes up at 4. We have tried to darken the room by covering
the window, but it hasn't seemed to make much of a difference.

The past two nights, he would make a bunch of noise, so we'd go get him to
feed him, and as soon as he is in your arms, his head hits your shoulder
and
he is snoring like a freight train. You place him back in his crib, he
starts complaining, and kicking his legs. You pick him back up, his head
hits your shoulder and he starts to snore again. etc. etc. etc.
Personally,
when he is like this, I don't have a problem leaving him in the crib so
that
he learns that when it's dark, it's time to sleep. But he shares the room
with Ben and Elena and I don't want Andy to wake them up. We only have a
2
bedroom home, so it's not an option to put him in another room (although I
am at the point where I wish I could.)

We do believe that he is teething. Would this cause him to act this way?
