Hi All, my DS is 8.5 months and has started to wake up about 30-45 mins after I put him down in the evenings. Any suggestions on how I can help him settle and sleep through?

My baby did this for ages… no matter what I did, like clock work, she would wake up 40 minutes later. Some people say they are not tired enough or too tired but I messed with sleep schedules and honestly nothing stopped it. Even now (sorry) at nearly 20 months she can still wake up 40 minutes later.
The easiest and best thing I did was just accept it was/is part of her nature. I just make sure I’m (or my partner) is there to sooth her back to sleep (used to breast feed, now it’s either a gentle rock or a shush and pat).
They will grow out of it at some stage. At 8.5 months he’s still really young and it’s completely normal for him not to sleep through.
