My daughter is nine months old, and I’ve been struggling so much for the past two weeks. We’ve been sleeping together almost since she was born. It was much more comfortable for both of us because she used to fall asleep whilst feeding. But for the past two weeks, her sleep has been constantly interrupted by crying; she whines, makes strange movements, and suddenly starts climbing up the headboard. As this happens every half hour, I haven’t been able to sleep at all. I wonder why this might be happening.

Maybe it’s the 8 month sleep regression barely hitting? My almost 9 month old boy has been in the same situation. He also breastfeeds to sleep. we sleep together. But you are not alone! Once you think you’re done with a phase, along comes another 😭

Could be worms 🪱 they can cause the screaming/ terrors and restlessness. I hope it gets better for you! A homeopathic remedy is cina or they sell pinworm medicine at the drug store.

My baby is almost 11 months and went through a transition around 8-9 months where he would no longer feed to sleep or at least not nearly as often and would travel around the bed bumping into things and whining quite often through the night. Turns out it was a transition of him learning how to sooth himself back to sleep on his own. It's all a little hazy, but I think it took a few weeks or maybe even longer, but in the other side he is now sleeping much more solidly and only wakes up once to eat per night and it really good at getting himself back to sleep if he wakes up any other time. So, a little hope if your baby is going through something similar!

my daughter did this at that age! it’s most likely a regression. stay strong girl!

Our LO turned 9m yesterday, and for the past 2 weeks we've been going through a similar thing. Along with she's just learnt to babble so it's either like a wrestling match or her babbling away at the moment. It's "just" another regression and will hopefully pass soon 🙏🤞
