8month old night waking

[Picklesbaby]

My little boy has just turned 8 months & He still wakes every 45mins/1hour . He’s fed to sleep at night. He’s been napping in his cot for a good few months now , I put him down awake and leave him ,he will happily go off by himself and have anything from 30-90mins . I try it at night and he just gets hysterical . Lack of sleep is wearing a bit thin and I’m beginning to get grumpy with everyone else! .Will it get better? Will he ever learn to self soothe night or am I going to have to sleep train?

It's a notorious time for a big sleep regression as there are huge amounts going on in their development

He’s been like this since 12 weeks lol

Yeah, mine was too to be honest. Didn't ever sleep train, we got there eventually

I sleep trained my boy around this age and it worked perfectly. Gentle approach and it was the best thing we did

What are his day naps like, as in what’s his routine?

Not much help but my 8 month old is similar. Goes down like a dream for naps but will cry hysterically at bedtime unless I feed to sleep and wakes multiple times overnight. It’s worse when he’s overtired. Hoping he grows out of it eventually.

@GenevaMaybe He wakes 6.30/7am.naps around 9.30/10am anything from 60-90mins,His afternoon nap around 2/230pm for 45mins. start bedtime at 6.15ish he’s normally asleep for 7.30/8pm. Wakes every 45mins/Hour . May get 1.5hours if I’m lucky !
@Soitis83 what technique did you use?
@Mountainpose am hoping he just grows out of it too. If not will night wean when he’s one I suppose😬

He’s overtired and fed to sleep.
Try this routine at 8 months:
7am wake and bottle
8am breakfast (porridge and fruit)
9.30-10.00 nap
11.45 lunch including protein
12.15 small bottle if needed
12.30-2.30 nap
3pm bottle
5pm dinner of carbs
5.30 bath
6.15 bottle
6.45 bed

@GenevaMaybe he doesn’t have a bottle but I will certainly try the routine (& we are working on not feeding to sleep)thank you 🙂

Ferber method changed my life. My DS is so much better off for it too

Our routine is
7am wake and bottle
8am breakfast
9:30am nap
10:30am bottle
12/12:30am lunch
2pm nap
4:30/5pm dinner
6:30pm bath
7pm bottle and bed straight after

Works super super well for us. He used to be up all through the night before this

Oh god sleep train. My son was the same and I swear he literally nearly killed me. I was so exhausted I caught illness after illness culminating in being hospitalised with pneumonia. Eventually we sleep trained and he went from waking every hour to sleeping 7 till 7 I'm just 3 nights. I honestly couldn't believe it.

It was also good for him - he was so much happier getting more sleep!
