Crying during sleep?

My baby is turning 6 months in a few days and we’ve been blessed with a really good sleeper. However, the last month she’s been crying in her sleep waking us up but when we check her she still appears to be asleep? Sometimes she wakes herself up while doing this and then screams.. she doesn’t appear hungry because she goes straight back to sleep after this… I feel exhausted because this has been happening every hour or so during the night. It’s led us to co sleep in our bed but I feel like I’m not sleeping properly when she is in our bed.
Anyone else’s baby gone through this phase?
And tips?
A friend suggested putting her in her own room but I’m not sure if I feel ready for that..

I know there’s a sleep regression at around 6 months old. It could possibly be that she’s going through a regression? X

Coping as a FTM

Hey ladies... I guess my question is how do you cope? I'm a first time mom to an almost 6 month old baby girl, and I feel like more often than not, I lose my marbles. I had one instance where I just screamed because she wouldn't settle and I was sleep deprived and everything was too much, I was home alone and she was next to me and my husband had just arrived home and he took her and I broke down. I couldn't believe what I had done.

Today was another hard day and I started crying while he settled her for sleeping and she looked at me and I swear there was worry in her eyes. She was sad cause I wasn't holding her anymore and that just made me cry more.

I'm bad with loud noises and I tend to get overstimulated easily and I don't want that to affect her, but I don't know what to do. Can anyone else relate? I don't have any mom friends and I feel like my mom and sister think I can't do this whole mom thing and I just want to feel like there's light on the other side.

Circumcision

No negative comments needed, so please take your negativity elsewhere. Just wanting to hear from other mothers regarding the healing process, age of son at time of procedure and also what medication, if any, were you given by the clinic or practitioner ?

Baby wide awake

Baby has woken up at 3:30am & is wide awake smiling & giggling like it’s 7am 🤦‍♀️ not sure what to do, do I just let him be awake for a bit in the low light? He has a 2 hour wake window so really hope it’s not a full wake 😭
