Such thing as a 9 month sleep regression?

I don’t know what’s happening or if I’m doing something wrong but out of nowhere my baby’s sleep schedule and routine has become SO inconsistent and we don’t know if he’s gonna be up every 1-2 hours or sleep through the night perfect. He’s been fighting naps harder than ever before like clawing screaming arching until I give up and just try again later, despite the fact that I KNOW he’s tired from his own cues, and I’m just at a loss. I feel like I’m doing something wrong and idk how to help him. It wasn’t like this he used to sleep great and put himself to sleep for naps. And now it’s the complete opposite.

My little girl is almost 9 months old and she’s gone from self settling and sleeping through the night to being up every hour. It’s been going on for about 2-3 weeks now and I’m exhausted.

Ours had a similar issue and it was because she was getting a strong flue and ear infection, like typically the arching can show pain. Does he have a fever or any other symptoms? Just something to pay attention to, not trying to alarm you.

Check out the wonder weeks app...there are 10 "leaps/regressions". You can get a fairly decent amount of information without paying for the app.

AnE ??

Maybe I’m over panicking here - all day my son (3) has thrown up, if he ate (toast) he throws up, even without stomach contents he’s throwing up, has water, he throws up - he hasn’t weed since 9am when he did a poop. He’s very tired - this is a AnE trip right or am I overreacting ?

I’m already packing a bag as I write this but…am I being a panicked mum here

Going out during one and only nap

How do you do it?! I took my daughter out this morning and she fell asleep for 15 mins in the buggy at about 11am, and has been resisting her main nap today. Do you keep babies in the house in the morning to avoid this occurring? How do you do it?

HELP! Mums that have got through the carrier stage…

My daughter is 3.5 months and sleeps well overnight but won’t go anywhere during the day for a nap except the carrier. Great because I can be on the go and I know she will sleep for up to two hours in there, but I’m starting to feel quite claustrophobic which zero time to myself.

How have people in a similar boat managed this please? If I put her in the pram and walk, she will sometimes scream for the entire thing (up to an hour) regardless of how many times I pick her up and put her down. It can be soul destroying. Occasionally she will go to sleep but I absolutely can’t rely on it as it’s maybe one in 10 times.

Any help on how to tackle v appreciated. If I could get to one pram or cot nap a day I’d be so happy! Thanks for reading x

Sleep!

Has anyone got any tips for easing tiredness for the newborn stage?? Me and my bf do shifts atm where we have about 6 hrs sleep each but we’re still absolutely knackered. I know this is just how it is going to be for a while but did anything help anyone? There’s only so much coffee I can drink and it’s not really cutting it🤣
