Does separation anxiety peak around 9-10 months?

My 9 month old LG has been really similar! She been a beautiful sleeper pretty much since birth but lately has started waking up an hour after being put down screaming blue murder and then will wake up moaning for us about 2-3 times in the night. Her bedtime is 7pm and last night she woke up at 8pm, 11pm and 3am (I gave her a feed and changed her nappy at the 3am wake up) and she did about 30 min intervals of tired moan after 3am until around 5am 😅 were hoping its just a phase! She's also just learned how to crawl, sit up from lying down, and say a few words so I'm also thinking she's going through a big developmental leap, which could also be the reason for all of these wake ups!

My 8 month old has started doing the same actually. She used to sleep through the night since 4-5 months old without a feed (we did dream feed her around 10-11pm though). Now she's walking up 2-3 times a night and as soon as she sees my face she starts screaming until I pick her up. And as soon as she's in my arms she settles. I'm hoping it's just a phase... 🤷‍♀️

My little girl, goes to bed at 6pm evey night and doesn’t wake up untill 7-7:30 next morning have you tired offering your baby girl a drink of water during the night she could just need a drink, my girl is 10 months now and has been sleeping all night from about 3 months old.
she went through a stage where she would not sleep and was constantly waking up, it was my mam who suggested giving her a drink of water at night and now I always leave a bottle of water in her cot for her so when she wakes up she can get the bottle her self and drink the past 4 months she has slept and when she has woken up it’s only to either put her dummy in or her blanket back on, give it a try if you’d like yous are doing your best and hopefully your little one grows out of it x

I have been going through the same and last night I put her back in her old crib in our room and she didn’t wake. I don’t want to go back to this but I think the reason is separation anxiety. I have been going through at least 5 night wakings per night for 3 weeks straight 😴

thank you for the idea. I've started dreamfeeding my LG again, which is something I want to avoid, so maybe a bottle of warm water before I go to bed will help. I'll certainly try it x

Sounds like separation anxiety, normal at this age my youngest started this a few weeks ago too. I remember it was particularly bad with my first child (also a daughter) it passes just a stage. X

I think it is! She woke up 4 or 5 times last night 😬

we've had a week of one or two wakes but she woke up 5 times last night 😬 hoping we are in the worst if it now and it will start to pass soon!
