So tired!
Just here to unload :/ I think my 9-month-old is having a sleep regression.
For the past week or so,she’s waking up around 6.30,having a nap of around 30 mins in the day and then staying awake until around 11pm.
I’m trying the usual: white noise,lullabies,car rides,long walks,warm baths etc,but she just resists and resists!
Health Visitor isn’t concerned,and she’s happy in herself (other than screaming her head off at night because she’s so tired) - but I’m absolutely exhausted and having to also look after a very energetic 3-year-old.I also have to hold her as she cries if not,so I’m not getting a chance to do anything in the evening :(
Anyone else in the same boat?

She doesn’t normally wake up much during the night,apart from stirring a little and we just pop her dummy back in,which is something at least. We try to put her to bed around 7,but she will just fight it until around 10/11 🤯 she’s clearly exhausted but just won’t sleep!!I spent an hour driving around the other night and she still didn’t go down. Today she has slept from 10.30pm to 5am.I genuinely don’t know how I’m going to make it through the day…
@Kirsty out of interest does your baby have a late nap around 5pm?

What time is she going down and is she waking up in the night? My almost 7 month old was moved into her own room 2 weeks ago (would have been sooner if dad had felt comfortable) and has been waking at 1/1:30 for a night time bottle which she wasn’t having in her next to me crib from about 10 weeks. The past 2 nights she goes down about 7/8pm but asked for a bottle at 3/4pm and we have tried everything you have mentioned!!
