8 Month Sleep Regression Support

[justanotheruser18]

Anyone else's baby going through the 8/9/10 month sleep regression? Mine is 32 weeks old, Wonder Weeks adjusted, and seems to have hit the sleep regression over night. I mean, he has never slept well, but I lost count of the number of wake ups we had last night. This one is going to be tough.

justanotheruser18 I am now at 14 months but remember the regression well. Never before have I repeated ‘this too shall pass’ so many times to myself! Hang in there, I thought it would never end but it did and we’re at 1-2 wake ups now x

Thanks @crazycatlady5
I shall remember your mantra.

Yep we are with you. My lb would settle himself happily and else twice at set times for feeds. Now we have taken a huge step backwards and have to rock him to sleep and he wakes on and off all night sometimes being awake for a 2-3 hour slot in the middle of the night. I too am telling myself it will pass but my it is hard to stay calm. Just when we thought his nights were bearable this regression hits you like a ton of bricks! I'm pretty sure I'll be in with him very soon for a couple hours of crying for nothing!

My DD has moved through that one but I do remember it as worse than the 4 month one, it does get better though and I just did what I needed to survive during that time

I am in exactly the same boat! My lo never got over the 4 month one to be honest.

The only place he will go to sleep is with me (unless hes in the pram and he will happily fall asleep) i know he shouldnt and it makes it worse and i feel like a should do some sleep training but i just dont have the heart to do it. I feel like im failing him because he just wont settle and go to sleep on his own.

But i am so tired, i do most bedtimes as husband works lates, and i am always the one up in the night with him. So anything that makes him go to sleep without a battle i am doing at the moment but then im stressing that im making things harder for myself in the long run!

Sorry for the long post, feeling a bit rubbish and have been up and down since 8 as every time i put him in his cot he is waking and crying.
