9-Month Sleep Regression? Constant Night Waking & Nap Refusal 😩

My baby has just turned 9 months, but for the past couple of weeks she’s been waking every hour through the night and taking ages to settle.

I end up bringing her into my bed just so I don’t have to keep getting up, but it doesn’t seem to help—she still isn’t sleeping well.

Daytime naps have become a struggle too. She refuses to go down until she’s completely exhausted and basically crashes.

Her night wakings are worse than they’ve ever been, even compared to when she was a newborn.

Nothing seems to help either—I’ve tried more naps, fewer naps, earlier bedtimes, later bedtimes… nothing is making a difference.

The week before all this, her sleep had actually improved so much. She was only waking once or twice, and one night she even slept from 6pm to 6am (although she may have been unwell at the time).

She’s on 3 meals a day and is breastfed. I’m honestly getting little to no sleep at this point—has anyone else gone through this? 😴
