9 month old is really going through it!

[arinah]

I adore my DD to bits, but this past month has really worn me down. She was bad at napping from the beginning, but now naps maybe twice in a day for a maximum of half an hour. Regular waking up at night time. Extra clingy and screaming if I put her down for 1 minute. Not eating her solids properly/constant unlatching when breastfeeding. I know about the 9 month regression and it could possibly be teething, although she's been biting with her gums since 2 months and I can't see any signs of teeth popping through yet!
Just wanted to hear other horror/miracle stories to reassure me that the end is in sight (until the next time).

No advice but mine is the same age and is being hard work at the moment as well! Oddly, I don’t remember DC1 being the same at this age. DC2, however, has two teeth and is dribbling buckets and biting everything in sight, including my nipples , but can’t see any sign of new teeth coming through. His sleep is even worse than usual which, believe me, is saying something.

I’m hoping it’s just a phase...

@MyCatReallyIsAGit love the username 😂
I thought I was losing it as I can't recall my DS being like this at all either! She's just being so grumpy and nothing seems to get her out of her mood at the moment... I can't blame her if it's out of boredom since she's spent the majority of the little life stuck indoors (thanks Covid!) but I'm in a part of the North where it's tier 3 and the weather is shite most of the time anyway, so trips outdoors are scarce.
Let's not get started on her sleep 😭 she can tell when I'm gone within 5 minutes - currently sat next to her starving and scrolling through JustEat because she's finally gone to sleep and I can't risk going downstairs and her waking up!

My 8 month old is the same still waking regularly through the night and is very grumpy in general! Hard to know what to do with them when they are like that lol

@Lou2120 exactly, I can't wait for her to start talking so she can tell me exactly what's wrong. It's only onwards and upwards from here with a second lockdown on the way!
