8 month sleep regression

Hey everyone,

I’m just after peoples experience of the 8 month sleep regression.

My 9 m/o slept through the night (7.30pm-6am sometimes longer) from 3 months old until 8 months old.

He started with a cold and cut his first tooth around the same time so I thought it was that - but it’s not ending? We are coming up to 7 weeks where he wakes up in the night restless and wakes up for feeds around 2am and 5am.

He’s eating 3 meals a day but still having quite a lot of milk in the day and especially now he’s having extra feeds in the night now too. So he’s having a lot of food and a lot of milk so is it even hunger?!

Will his sleeping through return or is this life now? Is there anything I can do to help him get back to that longer sleep without waking up crying?

I’m so worried as I go back to work in 5 weeks and I don’t know how I’ll function with disturbed sleep and work!

Many thanks
