Crying but self soothing

[Hallloumi]

Wondered if anyone else's baby had done this?
DD now 9 months. Up to 7 months was waking to bf 3-5times a night and was always fed to sleep at night. Co slept part of night. We did some sleep training at 7 months and it seemed to work. Stopped feeding to sleep and she was offered feed at 11pm and refused so was going 7.30 to 6 am with no feeds but still waking a couple of times and sometimes self soothing sometimes needing patted in cot. We were delighted!

Then ill for a few weeks and now even though better she cries out every 1-2 hours; most of these she self soothes but a couple of times needs patting. Especially between 1ish and 5 it seems her sleep is really light and she sometimes cries out intermittently for an hour or so at a time. So though we don't need to do much we're not getting much sleep. I don't know what we can do as she obviously can self soothe. Any ideas welcome and sorry for long post.

I'd be thankful she's managing to settle without waking.

We still had 3-6 wake ups a night at 9months.

She maybe teething hence crying out a bit but not fully waking. Hopefully she'll sleep more peacefully again soon.

My ds just went through illness patch and started waking again in night, he's 10 months and had been sleeping through peacefully since 5 months. We did gradual retreat sleep training once he was better as his sleeping stayed broken. He responded well but did what your dc is doing, just became quite a noisy sleeper and whereas he used to self settle quietly, he started doing it with a bit of crying. He was fine but I was shattered! But after about 2-3 weeks it's gone back to normal and we don't hear a peep. So maybe will be the same for you, just might take a few weeks to settle down again x

Also just to say ds had separation anxiety too which affected sleep at same time, which is why we did gradual retreat sleep training so he was reassured we were there. Could separation anxiety maybe be part of it? x
