Yep.... my 8 month old has slept perfectly from 7-7 since he was 3 months old.... until now 😭 it's hard isn't it!!! No advice but I'm with you lol

@ivfbabymomma1 ah I feel for you to! Don't get me wrong DD2 hasn't been the best sleeper but we finally got somewhere about 2 months ago but we had to sleep train her and with lots of work we got there and even had some nights of her sleeping through (ah that was bliss) other nights she may have woke up stirred and cried out but self settled back to sleep. The thing is we had to do the CIO method (only thing that worked) so now when she cries at night and it persists and persists - louder and louder it's like ah what do I do! I caved and co slept last night but no that was a bad idea as will make it worse tonight or what ever but I dunno 🤷‍♀️ need a strong cuppa this morning!!!

I think im going through this? (First time mum) my almost 8 month old has started waking up crying every hour or so during the night. He's crying in his sleep. A bottle does settle him but not for long. Does this sound like the regression?

@themummydiaries1 it could possibly be, the problem is no one knows 😩 I believe it's related to development leap or something. I just know it's been a long week already and I know tonight isn't going to go any better 😩 naps have changed etc!

@isitspringyet20 my DC is napping perfectly 2 hours in morn 2 in afternoon which is fab! But I do dread night time. Me and DP have been going to sleep at 7 as it's the only way we can get a good 5 hours undisturbed before the chaos begins again... I'm hoping it won't last long!! Self isolating sounds like a good idea right now

@themummydiaries1 ah fab on the napping front! Our naps were great too up until yesterday and now they all end in screaming after half hour or so! Managed 1.5 this afternoon with a scream in between! Could your LO be teething?xx

@isitspringyet20 yeah possibly! I try the teething granules when he's screaming tho and it doesn't seem to do anything. also he's fine in the day it's just at night 🙄
