Help!
We are on night three of inconsolable crying after being a sleep for abit!
Her room is 25° she’s been sleeping in a nappy or a strappy vest! She’s slept in this weather before (abroad and when we had the hot weather previously)
I even resulted in a midnight drive last night (3 hours awake) and a buggy walk the night before! (5 hours awake!)
She’s having all of her usual naps during the day which is absolutely normal and fine!
She’s drinking more formula & water and less solids which I put down to the heat.
Temp is fine, nappies fine.
She’s 9 months on Tuesday.
Sleep deprived and confused 🤯🤯🤯

It could be so many things. Teething, learning a new skill like crawling. Is she cool to the touch? Last night our nursery was 24degrees so I dressed LO in a strappy vest and 0.5 tog sleepsuit. She woke up screaming at 2am and when I checked she was actually quite cold. Put her in a long sleeve vest instead and she slept no bother.
I hope she’s learning something cool like flying if it is that 🤣🤣
Earlier she was in a 0.5 and a short sleeve vest, she’s now gone back to sleep in just the vest.
Earlier she was clammy, but with just the vest on now she feels normal.
Annoyingly we have aircon but where it is, it’s too much pointing at her so I try cool her room down before then turn it off but the heat soon creeps up even with a fan on 😒 hopefully she stays settled now but will check her back when I go to sleep xx

Honestly could have written this myself! I think it could be a mixture of everything to be honest she was 9 months Thursday just gone and is cruising furniture now after learning to crawl as well as teething super bad plus the heat so I just try everything until she is asleep. Last wake windows was around 5 hours as well tried for bed time at 8:15 and she has only just fully gone to sleep 😴 she would fall asleep in my arms and be like that for a solid 20 mins, i try to transfer her and she would wake straight back up and be sitting up in her cot crying so I just have to start the process again until she transfers no problem 😅 xx
literally!!! Started falling asleep on us again to then just being a nightmare when it comes to her own bed!
She’s been crawling over a month now so I feel like I’m more tired than ever because I can’t just relax with her sitting and playing in one place 😂 so bed time is the only time I get now 🤣 I said to my partner is it because she wants to walk and learning that (she stands up by herself with no help, just hasn’t got the stepping yet) it’s too early to learn all that! Slow down!! 🤣😂 I’m hoping this weather is cooling down for the nighttime’s because I can’t deal with it when she normally gives us 12 hours a night! Xx

always slept through and self soothed at night. now fucking nightmare screaming for hours and waking in the night for hours ☹️ hoping it’s just a 9 month phase.
