Is anyone else’s baby going through a sleep regression or having trouble sleeping?? My son is 7 months 2 weeks and up until last week he was a great sleeper. Since he was 3 months old he would sleep anywhere from 8 to 12 hours a night, straight through. Ever since he turned 7 months he’s waking up multiple times a night and it takes me 2-3 hours to get him back to sleep, just for him to wake up again a few hours later.. It is currently 2am as I write this and I’ve been trying to get him back to bed since 12. Sometimes he’ll cry until I pick him up and rock him back to sleep, then he wakes up as soon as I lay him back down.. other times he’ll just wake up and want to play. Anyone else experience this?? Is it a phase / regression or is this what I’m in for now? 🥹 I thought he was teething but when we checked we didn’t see anything. Help🥲

Experiencing this same thing!! Exact. He was an amazing sleeper! But he did pretty much get over it and is back to sleeping through the night with the one or two wake up of him needing got he rocked

how long did it take for him to go back to normal / sleeping through the night??🥲 it’s only been a week but it feels like a month lol. My husband works nights so I’m on my own and it’s really overwhelming when I’m so used to him sleeping🥹

Aw girl I know it’s hard:( and probably like 4 days. But every baby is different. I’m sure anytime now he should be getting out of it

Literally having the same issues but I share a bed with him and he has to be right up on me or he’s not sleeping and keeps trying to roll himself over and gets mad. It’ll end don’t know when but it’s definitely just them growing. You got this mama we tired but we got this. We’re going on a week and half of this but next to me he doesn’t wake up at all.

Same issue. Mine is 8 months. He’s been waking up around 4 just wanting to play and refusing to go back to sleep

My baby will be 8 months tomorrow and she started doing the same thing a couple weeks ago! Luckily the last 3 nights she has done really good (sleeping 8–12 hours straight). Usually when I would nurse her before bed I could just nurse her for 15-20 minutes and lay her down and she would go to sleep, but the last couple weeks I would have to have her fall asleep while nursing and she’d have to be asleep before I could lay her down. If I didn’t she would cry as soon as I would get up to lay her down and sometimes she would still wake up when I would get up and she’d start crying. I think Tuesday night it took me 3 hours to try to get her to go to sleep and she woke up a couple hours later and it took me another 2 hours to get her back to sleep. 🙃 hopefully your baby will be getting out of it soon! It lasted about 2 weeks for mine.

Following. Going through the same thing 😩

Literally in the exact same situation.
😳

ugh same.. my daughter was laughing and all
Smiles at 4am 🤦🏾♀️

sometimes I’ll let him sleep on my chest for a little bit to comfort him and get him tired and then I’ll lay him back down. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t because he’ll wake right up when he doesn’t feel me anymore 😅🥹 I keep reading online that around this age they get super clingy so maybe that’s it? Because I notice when he does wake up, he kinda wakes up in a panic looking around for me when I’m right next to him. Then he calms down but doesn’t wanna sleep.

yup! Same here! Sometimes he wakes up crying and wants to be rocked and other times he just wants to roll around and play. I’m not used to this since he was such a great sleeper 🥹 praying this is just a short stage!

my son has been like this for almost 2 weeks now, so praying in the next few days or in the next week he gets better and this is just a phase / stage!🥹🙏🏼 but my son is that way! We have to make sure he falls asleep while drinking and he’s asleep before we put him down or he cries. He’s been like that since he was a newborn but he’d always stay asleep so we’re not used to this 🥹 my husband also works nights 8 days straight, so I’m on my own during that time and it’s draining.

Mine did this 7mo, I was able to “fix” it by making sure she ate more food at dinner time. So she’s full and sleeps soundly through the night!
Before this she was sitting for food but mostly playing and sort of “eating” some here and there. So I now sit right next to her and make sure she eats the dinner and tries different foods, etc. ever since doing this she sleeps soundly through the night OR she if she wakes up it’s only for a quick bottle then back to sleep.
Also, (in case this helps) prior to 7mo, she was sleeping in our room in bassinet next to bed. So we also recently switched her to a full size crib in her own room with blackout shades + sound machine (Hatch) + red night light (hatch) + air purifier (that also makes a bit of fan noise) : doing this has 100% helped her sleep and stay calm during nighttime hours. She’s not distracted by bright lights, people talking or outside sounds.
