9/10 Month sleep gone to pot .....

My LO used to be a fab sleeper as a newborn and self settle.
He still isn't 'horrendous' but I can't help but wish he would go back so sleeping how he used to!
He goes to bed at 7pm and without fail wakes between 6.00am - 6.30am in the morning (it used to be 7.30am!) but has gone back to waking up around 2/3am again. He was sleeping through and going without a bottle until teething/colds etc and now it's all gone to pot. It's also gone downhill since he has become more mobile, so where as before he would wake and go back to sleep as he couldn't move anywhere now if he wakes he's straight up onto his hands and knees and within seconds pulling himself up on his cot to stand up 🙈 he's currently learning to walk)
The thing is even when he used to wake in the night before he would have his bottle and be back down and asleep within 10 minutes job done. Now it can take upto 1 hour and a half to get him back to sleep if he wakes up in the night 😴 He is currently teething again (molars next 😟) and has a cough that's waking him.
My questions is has anyone been through this 'phase' (please tell me it gets better!) And is the morning wake up around average for a baby if this age? 7-7.30 would be lovely but he just seems to naturally wake at 6-6.30.
He doesn't take a dummy.
Thanks! X

That is an amazing amount of sleep for a 9/10 month old! Mine was waking hourly at that point! Look up the 8-10 month sleep regression, you just need to ride it out.

My 10 month old wakes at 6 every morning
He doesn't feed overnight so is hungry by then.
Wake ups overnight are variable and compared to some I think he is pretty good. We have had some where he sleeps through but mostly we have a wake up around 10 and another around 2. Last night he woke up 6 times but that's leap 7!!

After the 4 month sleep regression he was up every hour and that lasted 3 months so am pretty happy with what we have now. But each baby is different... hope this phase passes quickly for you
