[quote=Anonymous]A lot of babies start to wake up to the world around this time and actually start eating more at night because they are too distracted to eat during the day. So to answer your question, he is probably waking up hungry, because....I don't know, maybe he's hungry.

I personally would never give a baby this young water at night (I actually wouldn't give any baby water at night if what they're expecting is milk or formula). If your DC was previously sleeping through the night and just recently started waking in they middle of the night, it could be a growth spurt, a developmental leap, teething, wanting to reconnect because you're not with them as much, or actual hunger. Since we can't really know for sure what's bugging them, my advice (and indeed our approach as parents) has been to wait it out and do what you can to get them back to sleep quickly. I know a lot of people on here would disagree with that advice, but I agree with PP that 6 months is still quite young in the grand scheme of things.[/quote]
