Although in my rational mind I know it we'll eventually.
We are almost 7 weeks deep into what I thought was the 9 month regression, but is it even regression if it's going on for this long?!! Or do I just suddenly have a bad sleeper?
Nearly 10 month old DS was doing 12 hour nights before this. Roughly 7pm-6.45am.
We have gotten into a bit of a bad habit now where he will wake in the night and eventually I'll bring him into the bed. But he's not even sleeping good in the bed either.
I'm just at a loss at how best to respond to him during the night. He goes to sleep himself. I put him down wide awake, say night night and walk out. Within a few minutes, he babbles himself off to sleep which is lovely.
During the night he needs a lot of reassurance. Picking him up actually makes him more frustrated I feel.
I can tap his bum and rub his back and he will nod back off, but this can happen every 2 hours. Sometimes less than that. And even happens if we co-sleep.
I'm SO tired after weeks of this and thought I would get my good sleeper back by now.
I'm now at a point where I want to break the association of coming into the bed. So whilst I'm in my own bed at the moment, I have a floor bed set up in his room for when he next wakes up so I can stay in his room with him rather than constantly get up and out of bed every few hours.
I'm just tired. Really tired of it. ☹️
