8 month regression ???

Please tell me I’m not the only one who seems to be experiencing an 8 month regression?!
My girl has slept through since week 1, but the past week almost 2, she wakes anywhere from 1-5 times a night. Very sleep deprived mum currently wondering what’s going on🥲

Mine’s been going through sleep regression since she was 4 months old 😅
Just kidding… but she really does wake up 6 to 12 times a night. I’d love it if she only woke 1 to 5 times!
No advice here—just sharing in case it helps you feel a little better 🤞☺️

It could be the heat. Both my kids - 5 years old and 7 months old - have not slept past 5am recently and they were the best sleepers. It’s too light and warm at that time!

100% with you on this. 8 months now and it’s all gone worse than it was. I mean it wasn’t great any way but this past week has been rough. Hourly wake ups

same thoughs its 12am and he already been up 5 times 🤣

Same here hoping it’s just the heat!! My LO woke up 5-6 times last night too, but seems to settle again once I pick him up, except last night where he fully woke up just before 3am for 45 minutes last night 🥴 I had to hold him the rest of the night and he slept until 8 in my arms but was very very restless needless to say I’m exhausted today 😂😴 I can’t wait for this heat to go away and hopefully my LO’s sleep will go back to normal 🤞🏻

The 8 month sleep regression is rough :( I’m currently going through it with my son. Lots of tossing and turning and night wakes and often waking up at 5am wide awake , just trying to take 1 day at a time x

I’m going through this too!!! 🤪 it’s hellll he’s 8 months in 3 days and for the last 2 weeks , he wakes up after 40 mins like clockwork, has to pick him up goes back down for an hour or 2 max then I go to sleep and he’s in my bed til morning but starts tossing and turning from 4-7am. UGHHHH WHEN DOES IT END????

I don’t want to do cry it out method or sleep training but losing my mind here 🙈🙈🙈

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
