Baby waking up a lot at night - even after successful sleep training

Anyone going through this? Any advice?
Our baby was sleep trained at 6 months and we had excellent results; he was sleeping 11-12 hours a night uninterrupted.

However, about a month ago at 8 months of so, all that shifted completely. He’s been waking up several times at night with a constant uneasy complain - not really full blown crying - but this gentle cry can last several hours.

We feed him, change his diaper, carry him, and although in the moment it helps and he sleeps, when we place him down back to the crib, the cry starts again. This process repeats itself several times a night.

Did anyone else go through this?

Currently living in this fever dream. I think it’s pretty normal around this age with milestones being met and growing/teething pains. You are not alone.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
