Should i just give him a bottle and get some sleep!

He wakes 2 or 3 times a night, have tried cooled boiled water, PUPUD, a leaving him to cry. No change whatsoever in almost 3 weeks!
We've been really consistent but now i feel he's crying every night so whats the point? Some nights he's up for 2 hours

He has finnaly started to lengthen his day time naps from 45mins to 1 1/4-1 1/2 hours. Goes to bed at the same-ish time every night, no problem. Only thing i perhaps do wrong is bottle and cuddle but always put him down awake.

You haven't been consistent as you have tried several different methods

Also, at 9 Monrovia they go through separation anxiety which can increase night wakings

You need to choose one method and sit k to it

Cuddling intil calm, face stroking etc and using a keyvphrase such as "sleep time" can help

Do you think he is hungry?

My dd had a 10 pm feed until she wad 11 months old and that helped her sleep from then until 6.30 am

I think we have been consistent. He gets a 10pm feed, then if he wakes after that its sip of water then back down. Sometimes this works, other nights it doesn't. If he continues to cry i have gone in picked him up, then put him straight back down when he stops. After that we have left him longer and longer intervals before going to him. We don't feed him again until around 5-6am. I always say 'night night' to him whenever i put him down to sleep. I do the dark room, no eye contact for feeds etc. Blackout blinds and lining. Once a month he'll sleep through, withought any change to his daytime naps or food or timings or anything else.....

I think there's a sleep regression at 8/9 months - also if separation anxiety is starting to surface he might be getting upset to be alone at night. Maybe he'll just grow out of it?

I think moon unit may be right

Its a sleep regression

It is hard, but as they get older their sleep does improve IME

I know ...another phase! Trouble is DS1 took 20 months to get out of his and the thought of that again Shock.....DH says be tough but i hate it and sometimes think a quick bottle and we can all get some much needed sleep....Dh sleeps though it half the time anyway too!!
