I need sleep

[NotHereToJudge]

I have a 10 month old who has never been a great sleeper! He takes a while to get down and is a fidget all night. He often wakes to get his funny put back in and once he's awake he takes a while to get back off again but does and it's been liveable.

For the last 3 weeks however I am exhausted!! He goes down no trouble at 7 after a bath, 20/30 mins wind down which is normally getting pjs on, story and cuddles then upstairs for his bottle and bed.
He is going down fine but then about 10pm WIDE awake! Like wide awake no sleep in him at all. So much so that we've now had to take him downstairs and one sleep downstairs with him so the other can get rest and function for work tomorrow.
He was going back off eventually on the sofa with me or partner and although we were getting a crap sleep at least he was getting some!

This week a
Has been hell. He just won't sleep at all and I'm so exhausted. Last night I managed 2/3 hours in a row and probably 4 Hyundai total and then had work to deal with and now tonight the same thing. I'm still up with him! He is refusing to sleep unless in my arms and Ben now that's not good enough he is pushing me off him but soon as I put him down he is crying for me again.

I don't know what to do

Funny = dummy
4 Hyundai = 4 hours

Like I said very tired

Same! 9 month old who has never been a great sleeper (not ‘slept through’ yet but that’s ok) has been taking about half an hour to get to sleep for naps and bedtime. Waking a few times but not for long...until last week.
Fights me trying to put him down for his nap for at least an hour,bedtime is same story. Screams and almost makes himself sick with crying if I even put him in his bed for 1 minute,the second me or my husband pick him up,he’s fast asleep on us. Or he won’t be put down but I pick him up,he’s squirming to get out of my arms. When he finally drops off,he’s up once or twice an hour before I go to bed,then does an epic 2-3 hour wake in the middle of the night. Different time each night last night he was wide awake from 1.30am till 4.15 then up for the day at 6am. I can’t take him downstairs because he just wants to play and gets really hyper so just have to hold him in his dark bedroom for hours trying to get him to sleep!
I hear 9-10 months is a pretty crappy stage but it’s not going to last forever (surely?)
