Sleep
Hi ladies. My little one went from only waking up once in the night to now waking up every two hours. This is the third night of waking up every two hours. She’s 9 months today and her second tooth just broke through. Is this normal? I been trying to keep the same bath/bed time routine. I add cereal in her milk before bed. (My family claims that help babies sleep longer. I feel like that doesn’t effect my baby.) anyone have any advice? I’m beyond tired and on physical pain.

my babe is 8 months and she started this around 6 months but she used to sleep through the night before that since 1 month 😃 everything is the same. we found moving bedtime up an hour has helped wake-up’s but it’s still tough. be careful adding cereal as it is a choking hazard. it’s much safer to just spoon feed cereal before offering a bottle but ofc you know your baby best!! you can try high fat foods before bedtime bottle as well like butter (sounds crazy but REAL butter) is a slow digestive food that is high in fat and reallllllly good to help them sleep longer
@Taylor according to the AAP a baby under 1 should have about 50% of their food coming from fats. It's good for their growing bodies, so doesn't sound crazy to me

My baby is almost 10 months but right when he turned 9 months he did that for a week or so. I think their is a 9 month sleep regression if I remember correctly.
