My 9 month old son has not slept through night since he was 5 months old. He was waking once or twice a night for a feed and a cuddle which I could handle l.
Although these last 6/7 weeks he wakes up for hours, I'm writing this and he's been awake for 3 and half hours. I don't take him out his room to play I'm very consistent in keeping him in the dark in his room. He will drop off soon as I lay him in his cot, wide awake again.
I feed him, change him, rock him and he just wants to play.
I have even let him cry for 20 minuets to see what he does thinking he might understand and go on his own, no soon as I go back in his room he's laughing at me and wanting to play.
I really need some help, im due back at work next week and just don't know how im gonna cope.

Does he go back to sleep if you feed him @shannonhinton0421?

@BunnyRuddington

Does he go back to sleep if you feed him *@shannonhinton0421*?
Sometimes yes and sometimes no. I need to try and stop feeding him on the night

At 9 months there is a massive sleep regression. If it was me I'd wait at least a couple of months before you start 9 weaning Smile
