HELP- 7-8 month old a particularly difficult stage??

[Beingmum2]

Please help. I'm struggling! My just turned 8 month old for the past 2 weeks just cries and whinges all of the time. He's only happy if he's being held whilst being stood up. Night sleep is horrendous. I'm exhausted and feel like I'm being a rubbish mum to my other kids. Is this just a really difficult age?!

Hey, no advice but just keep doing what you're doing and be there for your baby when you can. It will pass, they might be teething or just a developmental thing. I have a 10 month old who barely sleeps too :/ xx

I found 8-10 months really hard. Separation anxiety kicks in for the first time at this age which is probably why he is being really clingy. They also often start crawling around now so a lot is shifting developmentally which can disrupt their sleep as well. It will get better, just try and hang in there.
