I'm dying. That's how the 9 month regression is going
Napping while nursing is how this morning went. It took her 2 hours to fall asleep last night, and she was up to nurse a bunch. She's been skipping naps all over the place, and is being super clingy.

Sounds like we're dealing with exactly the same thing.

@Mrs. Sunshine: yeah I feel like we hardly recovered from the 4 month before this hit. 4 month wasn't fun, because she was teething and sick at the same time. We've been doing decently well since about 7.5 months or so...but she's never STTN.

@Foodnerd81: I hope for your & her sake that this is as bad as it gets!
@redsmarties: yeah we don't ST TN either but she was at least 3 times a week before the regression! I hope that your LO'S regression passes much quicker than the last one!

We had a horrible time too. With naps the first one usually went ok once he was tired enough, the second only happened in the stroller or on me. At night he went down just fine but would wake multiple times and would have to be rocked a little before going back to sleep. Then after his night feed he would not sleep on his own so we co-bedded for about 2weeks. After that it was as if nothing had ever happened.

@MrsB2012: oh my god. This makes me want to cry years of desperation as its already starting over here. Was your 4 month regression just as bad? Ours was so so bad & I just don't know how much we can take! You are in my thoughts. Be strong mama!

Awful. Just awful. And then it got a bit better around 11 months, and then he started sttn at 13 months. But 9 months was hard bc we had previously sleep trained so I thought we were in the clear, and at 9 months I felt like he "should" be sttn. Oh well.

I was just thinking to myself "is there a nine month sleep regression?" when I saw this! Guess I got my answer and glad we're not the only ones! We've been in sleeping hell for the last week.. He just cannot seem to fall asleep on his own anymore, cries so much more and wakes up so many times at night I've lost count. I try not to make him a bottle during the night because I've noticed that it doesn't help him fall asleep (or stay asleep) any better.. Every morning I think "tonight will be better".. Hahaha! I'm just hoping he goes back to his old routine of sttn soon! Hang in there ladies!!!

It was like this:

But the good news is, E emerged from that regression a much better sleeper. Then she started crawling and we had a few rough night and naps.... then we let her cry, like, once (it took hardly any time at all) and she has been sleeping through for the last few nights! Yippee!! I think she's ready to start sleeping better now!

@shopaholic: I agree! Month 10 is shaping up to be pretty awesome here!

I think we skipped that one. 8-9 mos is when he really consistently started going without night wakings.

Absolutely terrible. And then some.

He archs his back and can't find a comfy position even when we hold him (cradle, up right, you name it!) And when he wakes, he immediately sits up and cries! Poor thing!! He's 10 months old now, and still no end in sight yet. He barely sleeps and wakes up way too frequently. This momma got her first comment yesterday that I looked like crap. Lovely...

Meanwhile, naps seems to be okay, but of course, that's at daycare so not like I can nap when he naps. Sigh.

@Meltini: Yea, 4 month regression kind of rolled into 9 months for us. I think we got a 2 weeks break where he slept well and only woke up twice. I was like omg! let's put him back in his crib now, then bam! Trick me!!! Hello 9 month regression. sigh.
