Waking at Night

My 5.5 month old son has been a wonderful sleeper since he turned 4 months. He's been sleeping straight through, 7:30 until 7.

He's just gotten over a cold that caused him to wake up coughing during the night. I would have to nurse him to get him back to sleep. It was a combo of eating and comfort nursing.

Now he's decided he likes to be up for a couple hours during the night. I'll nurse and he's still wide awake!

Any insight? Is this lingering effects of him being sick? Is he having a sleep regression? Or maybe he's not satisfied enough from milk and we should introduce solids?

We've been so spoiled with his great sleeping, so this is frustrating!

Thanks!
