Suddenly waking in the night

My almost eight month old som has been sleeping through the night since he was three and a half months. Starting this year, literally a couple of days ago, he’s been waking after a few hours, usually crying.

Despite putting his music on and doing everything we can to help him, we’ve had to get him out the crib. As soon as he’s with my husband or I, he’s gone back to sleep. Then we try to put him backdown with no success.

I hate the idea of co-sleeping but we’ve had to resort to that to get any rest. Any suggestions?

theres a sleep regression around that age typically. I’d just cosleep if it gets you the most sleep.

Yes there is definitely a sleep regression and co-sleeping is the way to get you all the most sleep Smile
