9 month sleep problems ?

My son is almost 9 months old and goes to sleep by himself every night. He’s been waking up between 5-6am for weeks off and on. He’s used to wake up between 6-7am. For a couple weeks recently he would wake around 6:30 which I’m okay with. Then he started waking around 4-5am but I would feed him and put him back down and would sleep till 8-8:30am, that lasted 3 days. Last night he woke up at 11pm, 3something am , and 5:40 for the day. He goes to sleep between 6-7pm. I guess I’m just tryna find an answer as to why his sleep is so all over the place 😭

My 8 month old is doing the same thing 😭

Same here I think it’s a sleep regression because they usually have one at 4 months 6 months 8/9 months and 1 year !

I think it’s sleep regression. My 9 month old has been waking up at 11pm and staying up for an hour and then trying to wake up between 4-5 and wont sleep after 7am

same my son woke up at 5am and i just plopped him in the big bed with us and all he did was clap that whole hour i needed to just close my eyes,, there must be a developmental skill happening or something because there has to be a reason

9 month sleep regression has been hitting us hard. We didn’t notice any of the other ones because we sleep trained our daughter early but the 9 months regression has been wild lol but we stick to our routine and we’re almost on the other side of it

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
