Hi Mammas!
Anyone else need support from being flippin wrecked/drained/ready for the hills from this so-called 8-10 month sleep regression and Leap 7 from the wonder weeks?
Im a FTM to a gorgeous boy who turned 10 months old yesterday and currently 7 months pregnant with 2nd (lol - I know!).
My son wasnt the best sleeper and we never really had a 4 month regression as he had nothing to regress from lol as was still waking every 3-4 hours for feedings as was BF at the time.
However to our joy he started sleeping through the night soon after 6 months and of course we build up a false sense of security from this. Since leap 6 and around 8 months he has barely slept a full night since! Leap 6 has turned to leap 7 (both the worst by far - we got away pretty easily with the rest so far)and he has also had croup, bronchiolitis and some teething thrown into the mix and Im getting desperate/obsessed with sleep! To add to matters I returned to work yesterday (only back for 8 weeks) and his nap routine I had for him (which mostly worked) cant/wont be rigidly followed by the childminder so thats not going to help his nighttime sleep either!
Anyway I know it wont last forever and its hopefully a phase, Im just ranting and seeking support from other Mummies in the same boat.
