Sleep regression ?
My baby is 8 months and 2 weeks. He’s been waking up twice at night for a long time night with some exceptions. Suddenly since Friday it’s an absolutely nightmare putting to sleep and when he wakes up at night it takes me 3 hours minimum to put him to sleep. I first try for an hour and a half or two but after that I end up in the living room and play with him 🤦🏻♀️.
I’ve been also giving painkillers but can’t see a difference , I think he’s teething too.
I’m so exhausted, any tips?

I've heard split nights can be because daytime naps need adjusting?
I would check whether you need to drop to 2 naps. We switched and cut 15 mins gradually from 3 plus hours to 2.15 hours and made a massive difference.
Also are they learning crawling etc as this plays with their brain so I just leave her to it until she shows tired signs. If teething then ibuprofen helps.
We have this problem too; putting baby to sleep and she’s constantly waking when she goes in the cot and it’s a vicious cycle until around 2am ish when she seems finally down for a little while, though still nothing like before the regression. I have to say though she’s not wide awake in the middle of the night she’s always fast asleep once being picked up and fed/rocked so others could be right where you may need to adjust the naps for that part of it
