9 month old wakes every hour.

I don’t have any advice I’m afraid but I just wanted to say you’re not alone as this is basically us too! It’s so hard isn’t it?

When my daughter was younger until about 7-8 months I nursed her back to sleep everytime but it was getting too frequent so I weaned her slowly and would pat her butt or rub her back and shush her until she calmed down and fell asleep, it will take a few nights for him to get used to the change but he will get it. At first I weaned her down to a midnight feed and a 4/5 am feed and now she has weaned her self on her own and will usually just wake up for a 5 am feed or sleep through the night. Just listen to your gut and what feels right for your baby! Hope this was a little helpful

this happens when teething is bad for my baby! like right now 😭 it’s so exhausting having to go through the day when you’re exhausted. i would definitely nap with baby every nap too. i’m sorry girl it’s hard!!

Same, around 4 months he started waking every 1.5-2 hours and still does that at 12 months. Nursing is the quickest way to get him back asleep so I can also keep sleeping! Im too exhausted to try to wean him because i just can’t stay awake for however long it will take him to fall back asleep without nursing when this is an every night thing for the better half of a year now.

it’s extremely hard. Some people that I talk to about kind of brushes it off like this is what babies do but they do not realize how often he’s waking up.

This is exactly how I feel. When I do wait a second to nurse him his cry intensifies and then we both end up waking up fully which could’ve been prevented if I would’ve just nursed him right away. Ugh as you know it’s so hard. I just keep waiting on the day that he grows out of it.

one time I gave him a pacifier hoping that would help… he woke up fully and stayed awake for two hours, didn’t even want to nurse after that 🫣 I just can’t. Everyone has opinions on what I should be doing but they don’t realize I’ve tried everything already and i get so annoyed at them saying stuff like “is the room dark enough? Do you have a sound machine?” As if it’d be something that simple. Hoping all our babies grow out of it soon!!

I will probably have to do this or something similar because the consistent wakings are not sustainable. Glad to hear that this worked for you. When I’ve tried doing this his cries intensified so I started back nursing him but I was only trying it for 1 min or so before nursing. I’ll have to stay committed and follow through . Thank you for the recommendation ❤️

I get, we still have some nights like that. I usually will do around 5ish minutes before trying something new to give her body time to settle. It is so hard tho! Totally get it

Yess for sure! I usually try to get things done when he’s napping 🤦🏽‍♀️ Napping with him is something I’m going to have to start doing

Right! I feel this so much, like I’ve done everything. White noise, blackout curtains, temperature regulation, etc … Heavy on the hoping they grow out of it. Patiently or should I say not so patiently waiting on that day lol.

7-8 months was when my daughter got like this. But she didn’t nurse much in morning. Nursing had always been very challenging for us. So we started using pacifier only at nights and then weaned her off pacifier around 18 months.

Hmmm, my little one seems to wake up a lot of the time - because - of me being there and will magically sleep alone during her nap. So it might be worth getting him his own space, I know it's going to be harder but it could be better in the long run and you're already waking up and in a mood anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️
When my little one was being difficult at night I just gave in and did what she needed and eventually she just started sleeping through and only dream feeding

Welcome to sleep cycles and teething. It will go back to normal all of a sudden and you'll realise you were in it after
