My baby boy is nearly 9 months old and suddenly became extremely clingy 😠I love the cuddles but I am EXHAUSTED.
He was a great sleeper from around 3 months till recently, always knew how to self soothe and loved his own space. But for the past 3 weeks or so it has been difficult to put him down for a nap and he absolutely refuses to fall asleep unless it's in bed with me. He loves his dad but will scream if he tries to soothe him and will only stop with me. I try to stick to the routine and put him in his crib but when I am on wake number 5 at 1am I just give up abd take him to bed where he sleeps till the morning.
Can somebody share any positive stories? Will this ever improve or is this now my life for the next 10 years? 😠I miss my bed and my husband.

This is really normal, they are also going through a developmental leap at this stage. I’d soak up all the cuddles and bed sharing as much as possible. My boy just turned 12 and this we’ve just started sleep training from co sleeping. Although I’m getting more sleep, I already miss waking up to him smiling up at me. Goes so quick.
