DS has just entered the 8 month sleep regression. We suffered badly with the 4 month one but it wasn't as bad as this! I know it's normal and all that but no one else in my NCT group is suffering (they all sleep 13 hour nights blah blah blah) so I need to know that someone else is!
DS settles brilliantly at bed time and then sleeps well till 2am then is awake for about 3 hours. I bring him in to bed with me as I think he is going through a serious development phase (just learnt to roll over, trying to crawl AND stand up unsupported, just found out he can point at things etc) and I think he may be scared so want to comfort him. Nap times, which were always regular, long and self settling are now completely irregular and it's a real guessing game as to when he will sleep. Yesterday he only had one nap and did a 7 hour stretch from his morning nap until bed time without sleep. Grrrrr, just want it to be over as I'm sooooo tired and a little bit bored of constantly thinking about sleep problems.
Someone else going through this and want to share in my misery?!!
