HELP! 9 month old sleep (lack of)

[CJ1990]

Hi everyone,

I’m just after some advice. My 9 month old has never been a great sleeper, but she can go with only waking twice as she’s done it before. But the past few weeks she’s waking hourly / 2 hourly and getting up at 5am and I feel like it’s slowly killing me I’m back at work and can’t even function. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong as everyone seems surprised she’s still a bad sleeper at this age...I have PND / PNA and the extra lack of sleep is really exasperating things. I’ve just no idea how to help her sleep...x

There is a sleep regression that hits around this age due to developmental reasons. It is so so tough but it doesn't tend to pass on it's own. Can you rule out things like teething, ear infections etc?
