Is 6/7 month sleep regression a thing?

[stinksworth]

DS is nearly 7 months. EBF. Was sleeping for an 8 hour stretch at night before waking and then coming in with us.

Started weaning at 6 months (every food is rejected, I don't think much at all is ending up in his stomach). Since then, his sleep has gone to shit. He goes down brilliantly but now wakes within a couple of hours screaming and that's it. I feed him and then he's in our bed for the rest of the night, waking every hour or so.

If I do manage to get him back to his room after a feed, he'll only stay down for an hour or so before waking.

Anyone any help please? It feels like we have a newborn again!

DD is 6.5months and sleeps in bed with me every night. She wakes twice now but I just pull out my boob and feed her lay down then back to sleep. No chance she'd sleeo in a room on her own, she won't even sleep in her side crib which is attached to our bed - she has to be right tucked in against me to settle. Is bed sharing an option?

There's a growth spurt at 6months which might be disrupting his sleep.

A growth spurt and leap and they are learning lots of new things and they have started weaning.

6 months was the worst sleep regression for us and the start of our cosleeping.

We do co-sleep after the first wake-up yes. Although he wakes really frequently after this. He settles so well in his own room at first so I wouldn't want to change that aspect.

Ah so development/growth spurt may be the culprit? Any tips on how to help or how long it may last?

I think sleep can regularly go to shit and there's nothing much you can do but ride the storm until it settles down (and then the next fucking one starts) !!!
