7 month sleep regression or????
So my 7 month old goes down at 7/7:30pm every night. Normally once shes down that's her till about 4:30/5am then starts fussing because she just wants to be next to me in bed - so I let her in so I can get another hour or so.
But the last week shes been waking up several times around midnight crying hysterically on all fours which never happens. She cant be re settled in her cot, but she will fall asleep on me right away (sometimes chats for 20 mins then falls asleep)
Im guessing she just needs the comfort of me, but is this a sleep regression?
We had a little regression at 4 months but only lasted 2 nights so this is new to me 😅
Shes learning so many new skills like trying to pull herself up on the sofa, crawling at super speeds & babbling like she has her own podcast 🤣

Hahaha same here!! Apparently there isnt such a thing as a 6month sleep regression from what I’ve read. but surely there is?!! The July groups are all full of babies not sleeping well. So I think most definitely!
Apparently around 6/7 months it is when the separation anxiety from mum starts . My baby is all night with me now in bed. Which I really didn’t want to happen. But I can’t wake up every hour.. so if she needs me she will have me 🤣 I definitely think the development is crazy at the moment . They are learning and changing so rapidly . So it really feels like they are waking up all night to practice their new skills 🤣
But I’ve read it is a stage and won’t last very long . Fingers crossed
There is a 6 month regression, but that one seemed to just pass us by without us realising. But what you're describing sounds like the 8 month regression. We're seem to just be coming out of the other side of this now. Our LO is a mega early regressioner!
Apparently you can also get a "perfect storm" around this age where the 8 month regression and separation anxiety collide! 🤦♀️😬
It was the worst regression we've been through 🤦♀️
But in short, the 8 month regression is the crawling in their sleep one, and apparently 10 month regression is a standing in sleep one 😬
Could be teething pain? Mine has been waking up more as she’s teething x
same situation my one change at 6 month he was sleeping all the night from 8:00 untill 9/10 morning but he turned 6 month he wake up around 5:30 for feed and then 7:30 max
Oh God same here! And chatting, screaming for hours hahahaha it’s funny but not at 2am until 7am 🤣🤣
My little girl has been going through this for just over a week now!!
She’s 7 months on the 16th, and we had about 2 weeks of good sleep after the 4 month regression finally ended 😅 last night our airbed finally arrived so I slept on that last night next to her cot (she’s in her own room) and she slept loads better with only one wake up screaming! However that wake up is about 9.30/10.30 pm! No advice though.. feel like we’ve tried everything 😴😴 x
this has been happening to us for over 3 weeks now
