9 Month Sleep Regression

If any fellow April mums are going through the 9 month sleep regression and need to cry about it, I can provide biscuits. I heard this was the worst one but oh my god it’s hits me like a ton of bricks. Any advice on how to cope with this please 🥲

honestly Ms Rachel is a saviour 😂 it got to the point where I was in the cot to cuddle her but she took that as play time 🫠 and thank you, a week looks bearable so I’ll keep my fingers crossed we’re the same!

so initially I gave him a cuddle but he just couldn't settle, so we ended up sitting on my bed playing with some of his toys 🤣

It’s something right 🫠

Yup! Took our little boy to bed at 7.30pm and it was gone 10pm before he was actually asleep.
And the more I say it’s bedtime, the more he wants to laugh at me and throw his dummy at me.
But then if I leave the room he cries his heart out. And I’m not a mum that supports CIO personally.
I know he’ll be awake in a couple of hours wanting to play again 🫣

I have to turn around when my girl starts smiling and laughing because I want to join in 😂😂 it’s heartbreaking I know, takes a strong person to not get tears in there eyes and I am not that person. Please get some sleep while you can 🤍

It's so true and not good at alllll 😑

Same here. He has been awake since 3 this morning, and at 5, I gave in and gave him boob ( he doesn't have milk between 8pm and 6am normally. It's usually a cuddle, fall asleep, and back in the cot for us when he wakes, but this hasn't been the case for the last 2 weeks

Avatar

I'm up again too ladies... Hope this ends soon 😴😴

Avatar

literally the energy they get is unreal

Needs must at this point. Hope he’s gone back to sleep x

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
