9 month old- help!

My 9 month old just doesn’t go back to sleep once awake in the night and tonight I’ve had enough. Mix fed, she’s been up since 1am, had a breastfeed, a bottle of milk, - I’ve tried to put her down 3-4 times, fell asleep on my bed and I transferred her- every single time she wakes. I’ve put her in her cot and left her to cry, I cannot do anything else!

I have no advice, but I am awake for exactly the same reason with my 9 month old.
Up for three hours with her last night, and just hit the two hour mark tonight. Everytime I put her down she just wakes up and stands up and is wide awake!
I just hope it's a phase. And a short one!

is she teething perhaps? Mine is currently 8 months old and just wants to be near me at the moment. It is exhausting, so you have my sympathy. Calpol seems to have done the trick here tonight.

Yes teething but tbh she’s always teething- she won’t even sleep on top of me like when she was really small that I could attempt to go sleep- I’m just trapped

I can totally relate. I then always struggle to get back to sleep as I just lie there waiting for her next wake up - it's a vicious cycle! Would almost be ok if it meant she slept later in the morning, but still up before 6.

I feel the same, currently up watching dance moms as I’ve given up. Had maybe one hour tonight.

I feel like I really regret having him which is awful but I can’t live like this.

I wish I could help. Flowers

Ooh is dance mums on at that timeGrin
It’s so much worse than a newborn, least those wake ups were brief. My eldest was never like this, I can tell this one is stubborn - god help me.
