Son has stopped sleeping. I'm exhausted.

When my son was 3-6 months we had an amazing routine. He slept pretty much the same time every day and was sleeping through the night apart from waking 2-3 times to breast feed. He would usually go straight back to sleep.

Now he's 7 months, he suddenly doesn't sleep. Last night he woke every hour crying and moaning. He wouldn't settle. He doesn't sleep through. He naps a lot in the day which I'm cutting down gradually but just 2 weeks ago this wasn't a problem.

Can anyone offer any advice? I hate being so tired. It's making me feel sick.

I meant to post this in sleep, not step parenting... yep, I'm tired!

There’s a sleep regression at that time. It’s also peak separation anxiety time. Does co-sleeping help?

Could just be teething , my little boy is very disrupted if he's teething and is usually up every hour for no clear reason

Get his ears checked.
It is very common for little children to wake frequently if they have an ear infection due to the severe pain when horizontal.
