How old is your baby? maybe he/she just wants to hug, coz baby needs "safe feeling"...
my baby was also like this before... he cried around 5-6 times every night, but fall asleep again after i hug him...
i would suggest u to try co-sleeping... now my baby is sleeping with me and never cried any more, so that i can sleep until 6am at morning now...
it's better for both of us ...
My son also cries in the middle of the night. After his feed at 2 am, he will start to cry quietly (not very loud!!!) at 3 am until his next feed at 6am!! don't know why!!! :cry: :-(
