9 month old sleep/feeding help

My 9 month old never really seemed to recover from the 4 month sleep regression and now we seem to be right in the middle of the 8-10 month regression. Even before this, he was still waking up for a feed once and then 1-2 other wake ups just looking for a dummy to help him back over.

When I speak to others who have had babies around the same time or after, their babies are all sleeping soundly through the night my with no wake ups.

Just looking to see if there are any other mums with babies 8-9 months old that still wake for a feed during the night?

For context, he takes 3 x 6/7oz bottles throughout the day and then another during the night. I have tried adding in another bottle during the day but he’s not interested in taking more than 2oz so seems hungry for it during the night.

Feel like I’m fighting a lonely losing battle here when all my friends appear to have it so easy...

I think our DC is going through something similar, he’s 9m in just over a weeks time and started sleeping through the night a few weeks ago. THEN he had two teeth start coming through and he’s been awake for an hour each night since.

Hoping it ends soon. I don’t feed him at night, I stopped that back when he was 7.5m and I was still BFing. Now he’s on formula last bottle is at 7-7:30 then he goes to sleep at 7:30-8 then just water overnight.

My bf 19 month still wakes for milk during the night. DD1 was ff and had her last bottles overnight at 13 months, she didn’t sleep through until 2.5 yrs.

If they keep loosing the dummy trying getting the Mam glow in the dark ones and put some on the floor around them during the day for a couple of weeks so they get used to finding them for themselves.

Are they learning to crawl/walk? This always has a huge impact on sleep.

We do have glow in the dark dummies and have been practicing picking up during the day. He can find them and pick them up perfectly, I think the problem is he’s a bit lazy about it and will literally just cry until someone helps him 🙄

Yes, he has almost mastered the crawling, I was hoping this was impacting his sleep so hopefully once he gets it his sleep will get better

Hello

We are the same and our 9 month old still wakes up for a feed during the night and often is quite unsettled and needs us to either co sleep or help him back to sleep in his cot. It’s quite frustrating but trying to see as just a phase.

He’s almost crawling so hoping that will mean he tires himself out more?

I hope it gets easier soon as I am pretty knackered
