Please help!

If anyone can help I’d be so grateful please! My 10 month old all of a sudden is not sleeping. This is night 4 and I have no idea what to do. I’m over the whole overtired explanation, I know she’s probably overtired but she was in such a good routine and all of a sudden is not sleeping. She goes to bed at 8 because any earlier she will false start, or at least she used to go to bed at 8! Night 1 she was up at 12:45am until 5am, gets so upset and angry when trying to sleep her, went back to sleep for an hour then was up for the day. Night 2 was very similar. Night 3 she went to bed at 11pm after a few hours crying in her cot with us in the room, but was up again at 3am. Naps have been good today total slept 2 hours and she was on a good path to go to bed at 8pm. Bedtime comes around and again she’s just refusing to sleep. I rock her asleep and 5/10 minutes later her arms are flapping and she’s hitting, arching back, screaming. We have tried everything. She’s not in pain as she’s always been difficult to put to sleep but this is a whole other level. We’ve tried going on a drive etc she will just wake up the second the car stops and she’s up for hours, have given pain relief in case she’s teething etc. it’s like the second she knows she’s being put to sleep she gets herself in hysterics. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Putting themselves to sleep

Ok I know this might seem daft but has anybody else's baby started going to sleep themselves

I put Freya down to make her a bottle today and I came back and she was fast asleep

Apparently according to her dad she does this during the night

AND she slept 9:30pm until 5:50am today all the way through I'm grateful but just wondering if it's normal

Clinginess

I have a 9 week old and when he was first born the minute I put him down he’d cry it got to point where I was barely getting an hour sleep every night cause he wouldn’t even settle on my partner, he’s now 9 weeks and exactly the same once my partner went back to work it left me with the only option of co sleeping with him otherwise it’d be more dangerous me being so tired around him I feel as tho it’s only made it worst he can’t stand being put down it leaves me in a situation where I can’t do anything for myself cause he’s in my arms constantly I try with morning feed like once he’s don’t feeding I wait 20 mins then they transfer him I’ve tried every method swaddling, feet them bum then head then hand gently on chest we do car rides but he wakes up as soon as car stops pram walks he’s familiar with feeling of the stones under pram on our drive so wakes up I’ve tried carrier but once put down wakes up again, I love him to pieces but it gets overwhelming especially with the dog as the dog follows me around and wants attention to not to mention the house is a mess and my partner tried his best but he work long hours it’s driving me insane especially the crying it’s not like a slight cry it’s like cry until can’t catch breath kind of cry until I pick him up again

Nursery help!

11 m baby boy did great in his settling in sessions. Only cried when I picked him up. But since starting properly this week it's been a nightmare. He's waking up earlier so a long wake before first nap , having 30 mins naps there so he's exhausted when we pick him up. They said he's crying and upset most the day, they cant put him down. I picked him up early today because he's so exhausted he's struggling.
I feel so so awful that he's struggling.
Does anyone have any tips or just reassurance that it will get better?

Annoyed

I am so sick of my family telling me “there’s something wrong with your baby” all the time. She’s my second born my first is a boy he was a calm baby. She cries a lot. It’s just really getting to me now. I tell them it’s because she’s tired or overstimulated and they are like “why is she overstimulated?” Like hello she’s a baby!!!!!!
