We really lucked out with our daughter, she was such a good sleeper, and would wake up happy and smiling and babbling away… until around Christmas (when she turned 6 months)
She has gone back to the super new born days of only sleeping on me, hates her cot (which she used to love?! Could it be too small? )
Scream cries in the middle of the night out of no where
Really interrupted sleep and generally really fussy 😩
WHAT is happening?!
She’s also just started solid foods, and is starting to sit alone and is rolling (could this be it?!)
It’s been a few weeks now and I’m exhausted

Sounds like the sleep regression! Were going through the same, although we co-sleep from the minute I put her to bed she’s constantly moving around in her sleep and wakes around 1:45 every night and doesn’t go back off until around 3am! Were lucky that’s our only wake up but it’s exhausting, hoping it doesn’t last too long 😫

Sleep regression is at 4,6 8 and 12 months.. Even though sometimes it feels like its never ending as buy the time they get over one, they're into the next one haha

Definitely sounds like sleep regression.
My little boy was 6 months old on the 4th of jan and he has been up more in the night and needing to be cuddled to go back to sleep.
He started this about 3 weeks before he turned 6 months and it’s passing now :)

Could it be the size of her bed size cot ? I bought a new one that’s larger, incase she needs more space now …. ?

This is my boy, we were up every hour last night.
We never got out of the 4 month regression either 🫠🫠
The cot refusal is so hard, we’ve had it on/off since November and it’s bad at the moment. He only wants to sleep on my chest!
Literally no advice but you’re not alone!

Yea same as mine, absolutely horrendous. Teething plus learned to sit and roll so the triple nightmare with a regression. Last night he woke up 9 times crying, sometimes it's 11.

Omg .. it’s awful. To the point where I wake up with back pain and a stiff neck from being up and tense all night

As much as its awful its such a relief in a way to know its not just our baby being a gremlin!
