A friend sent me a link that I found really helpful during this sleep regression, I’ve screen shotted some parts (sorry that some over laps) as links don’t work. If you google Sarah Ockwell-Smith 8 month regression it should come up.

I’m an overly anxious person and always blaming myself. I was feeling like I’d failed my baby because suddenly there are lots of wake ups when previously sleeping like a legend. So it was nice that it really reinforced that this tricky time isn’t caused by anything I’m doing or not doing. It’s just a regression some babies go through.

If you and your baby are struggling this phase will pass. Keep doing what works for you, we got this 💪💕
