Is there an 8 month sleep regression?

Question

My little one (who is kinda sleep trained) but does need me to settle him sometimes,  has been waking up so frequently for no reason almost every sleep cycle.
Is anyone else’s baby struggling to link sleep cycles? How did you help them through it? Is this a regression? Any advice is appreciated.

Answer

I am going through the same. She’s awake like 4 hours it seems. I am exhausted.

Answer

I’m going to say yes! My guy is a great sleeper, I put him down between 7-8 awake and he sleeps until 6ish usually, except for the last 2 weeks. He was waking up several times a night consistently. I’m thinking it’s a combination of a leap and teething. I broke down and ordered wellements organic teething oil and it has only 3 ingredients, all natural and tried it last night and he slept 10 hours.

Answer

For us it felt like one as well, at 8 months and about two weeks it became much better again. Not sure whether it’s a regression: I noticed like four teeth coming in at the same time as well so maybe that was it (he’s still working on them, poor guy. But anyway, I read somewhere that it could be fear of abandonment. We are trying the Wilson method which should tackle that fear: we stay in the room but not at his bedside and comfort him when needed, without picking him up, until he is at ease again and only leave when he is fast asleep. Not sure whether it’s working because we just started and for us it’s very questionable whether it’s fear of abandonment actually, but I was in need of a plan and really wanted to stop rocking him to sleep again

Answer

Yes my twins are going through this and I’m so exhausted. They were up for 3hrs the other night. And then was up for the day 4hrs later 😴😴
