10 month old waking awake despite sleep training

[fruitandve]

Hi all, as above really, we sleep trained st around 6 months (gentle methods not CIO).. now we have moved him to his own room (I know later than prescribed) he seems to have lost the ability to self sooth. Do you think this could be the adjustment and if so how long did other people's little ones take to adjust to being in their own room? Also he is crawling/ cruising etc so loads of different skills I gues. Really hope it gets a bit better but if anyone has any advice

We went though a v similar timetable of gentle sleep training around 6 months then moving to baby's own room at 10 months. We didn't experience issues directly related to the room change but I reckon it would be completely normal for them to take a while to adjust. We instead had the 8/9/10 month sleep regression at some point around then-we had to do extra settling in the night for a while but then it sorted itself out. I'm not sure how helpful this is but sending sympathy nonetheless! We're now in another sleep regression or separation anxiety phase or something where she (now pretty much 13 months) needs way more help to settle than before and wakes 2-3 times a night. It's such a rollercoaster, isn't it ...

There maybe something different about his own room that is different to yours, your breathing for example. He used to wake and hear you sleeping and that would sooth him back to sleep bit like my son uses whitenoise, he loves ewan the sheep. Different smells, noise, temperature could all be contributing factors and there's also the possibility that it's none of the above 😂 don't you love kids.

Aw thank you both for your reassuring replies.. it's good to know the unpredictability is to be expected I guess. I think you're right about him sensing the difference in rooms, he is obviously at the age now where he realizes change.
