Is the 7/8 month sleep regression true??

[jollybobs89]

So DS coming up to 8 months in 2 weeks.

He's not been a fantastic sleeper but he's been pretty good normally goes down at 7pm wakes around 11 for a bottle and then again about 3/4!

He will nap twice once in morning then the afternoon.

This week seems to be something else! He went to sleep at 7pm prob for about an hour then he was wide awake till 11.30ish we tried settling him giving him a bottle nothing he was just up happy awake went down at 11.30 then woke up at 3am then again at 4/5 am! Toddler woke up in the middle of all this too so im a bit meh today hahahaha

Anyway pleaseeeee tell me this is a regression and will pass in a few weeks!! He's sitting up in his cot laughing making noises to himself!

Any tips help would be great!!

The night before he was up every hour! I've given him calpol etc incase it's his teeth.

If I put him on me he'll go back to sleep! As soon as I put him down he'll stir and wake up!

I don’t have any tips sorry :( Mine was like that too though, from 8 months until tonight...almost 10 months. Now I’m a little lost because she went down at 7 and still asleep at 12am (I’m not in the U.K.) I’m trying to sleep but can’t quite nod off as I’m convinced she’s going to wake any moment! I’ve been as tired lately as I was in the initial month, the greatest positive has been that I don’t have another child and with covid there aren’t any places I need to be so I sleep when she does during the day.
Hope tonight is a better night for you.

It was true for both my children. It took a little while, but they did get better again

Ahhhh least I'm not on my own haha the no sleep club! Fingers crossed for a better night tonight maybe
