Quick poll: 9 month-itis: how long did it last for your LO?

[CorrieDale]

It started for DS at 8 months (typical: late developer in virtually everything but sleep problems...) and at 10 months we're still going strong. Two hour jaunts about the cot at 2am are a very regular thing. If your LO also took to practising his/her stuff in the wee small hours and couldn't 'unwire', how long did the phase last, and did it stop spontaneously? All contributions gratefully received!

Mine still going (10 months). Managed to drop the night feeds, but now she is just awake for around 2 hrs every night. Just when I think she's dropped off she springs up again and is off to investigate a cat/object/glint of light/speck of dust. Cries to bu cuddled so cuddle her and get pushed away and shouted at,etc, etc. Tehn still up bright as a button at 6am while my eyes are propped open with matchsticks. We have had the odd night of sleeping through in the last month or two though but despite my intricate notekeeping I can see no rhyme nor reason to her patterns.

bump?

Hi
We had the same problem for a month after she had been a fairly good sleeper. She would scream as soon as I went near the stairs and stay awake crying for hours unless I was actively playing /talking to her. Even if I just held her in my arms upstairs she would scream until she was sick but if I went downstairs she would be happy and giggly.
Now I give her a supper after her evening bath. It used to be a bedtime bottle but I am now giving her a cup of milk and a snack like porridge,hotcross bun, rice pudding etc and a story down stairs . She is now yawning by 9p.m and sleeping through the night. I actually have to wake her at 8 a.m
Only downside is that the bath is a waste of time because a lot of her supper is ending up in her hair etc

Arrrrrggghhhh ds has just started doing this - waking at about 3am - 3.30am and playing for two hours!!! He is in our room so we have to put up with it too! It's not too bad, in that he isn't looking to us to entertain him (although a feed at this point is gratefully received ), but he is keeping us awake! I guess the dds did it too but they had their own room so maybe it didn't impact us in the same way - please someone tell me he will grow out of it soon....
