My baby is 3 months old and for the last 2 weeks she's been sleeping from 8:30p to 6:30am. Now she has gone back to waking up around 2am and 4am (wants a bottle at 4). We havent' changed our routine at all. Any ideas? (We have increased her formula during the day to make up for the night).

Probably a growth spurt. It should resolve its self in while.

Growth Spurt....Totally normal.
I worked it through with my pediatrician and she recommended my kid take cereal in a feeder just before going to sleep or during a dreamfeed.
He was 3 months old when we started that and he immediately started sleeping through the night again.
Now he is 5 1/2 months and waking up due to teething. Gahhh, it never ends....lol

My son did the same thing. Could be a growth spurt or maybe your baby is just uncomfortable in some way.
At 6 months my son still cries around 4am but, I just give him his binky and he goes back to sleep. Sometimes, he's a little chilly or, he's just mad because he has drooled and he's tired of his face laying in it :)

The baby is probably going through a growth spurt and just needs the extra calories.

she's changing her routine and welcome to being a mommy! LOL. she is probably just hungry so trying giving her a couple of teaspoons of rice cereal mixed with formula or pears or applesauce just before bed and see if this helps. she's growing and will continue to change and do things differently all the time. most of the things babies and toddlers especially do are just phases or growth related issues your mom you will figure it out PATIENCE is your only friend right now and lots of rest when you can

Growth spurt- it is normal for a baby to get up. Babies go through periods where they will get up- even with increased food, breastmilk, etc. It happens. Keep with your routine and she will get back to sleeping normally.

I agree with the following answers...it's hard to know exactly why. My child (4 yrs) still has weird sleep patterns!
