Nearly 7 month old sleep!
I have a baby boy who is nearly 7 months old. Never been a good sleeper but the best we got it was up 3/4 times from 6.30-6.30. Since he his 6 months old it’s been awful up every hour, refusing naps and not very happy wherever you put him to play/sit etc.
I’m at a loss. Recently tried his cot to see if maybe he wanted to sleep in his own room and needed space and quietness. That didn’t go well would scream every time you put him down. Then when you picked him up he’d stop then start again as he was getting lowered in. I actually don’t know what to do anymore. The only time he’ll nap well is in his pram and it’s moving.
Just looking to see if this is normal/advice 😭

Can you speak to the health visitor? Are you trying to get him to nap when hes not tired enough I wonder?
My wee girl isnt a great sleeper wither but it was the 4 month regression that messed with her...seems odd to have started at 6 months. Full disclosure though, I know very little about sleep
He wasn’t great at 4 months either but it’s got worse at 6 months like more wake ups during the night. Teething has been a factor I think as he is constantly trying to put things in his mouth 😩
He will nap just been fighting them sooooo badly which isn’t like him never had a problem with naps before.
My advice is just try to ride the wave, it will pass. I have a 13 month old who still wakes multiple times a night but I remember it being horrendous at around 6 months old. Teething, sleep regressions, I really have no idea. We had phases of bad sleep that just passed eventually and there wasn’t much I could do. The point is you’re not doing anything wrong. x
