8/9 month sleep regression - did it happen?

[Faffalina]

Is it a myth?

Did it happen for you? If so, how long did it last?

 

[Natsku]

Urgh I hope its a myth as Maria is nearly 8 months now and the 4 month one hit her so bad

I didn't know there was another sleep regression - we're still waiting to come out of the 4 month one

 

[Faffalina]

Reason I ask is I'm not sure whether we are in the midst of one... LO has a cold, a tooth popping through and constipation as well. So that lot probably affects her sleep. Been a week of disturbed nights

 

[sapphire1]

The teeth were the killer for us. They were baaad nights. Calpol helped a bit, would help for a cold too.

Same here!

The 4 month sleep regression hit at 4 months and 3 weeks, and hw's been waking up 5 times a night steady ever since!

Yes, it's the only growth spurt we noticed. His sleep was all over the place, it lasted for almost a month from 8.5 to 9.5 months. He learned alot during this growth spurt, he learned how to crawl, cruise, pull himself to standing, & talk using words meaning them xx

We're still not over the 4 month sleep regression. I swear before 4 months hit she was the perfect sleeper but now none of us remember what sleep is!

We were finally able to get over the 4 monther at 6 months.
James is almost 8 months and I'm hoping we don't have to deal with another
Don't tell me they have sleep regressions when they are toddlers too???

We have on going sleep regressions since his birthday

he started to sleep through again few days back. We had a year of good sleep & almost a year of bad sleep. He's a late teether & started to have his teeth 1 week after his birthday. This is why his sleep was affected I guess.

Wait until you hit the 14 year old sleep regression - in that one they stay up all night on Facebook/Xbox and then sleep all day

He already spends all night on Ipad, not looking forward to teenage year. He's not 2 yet but he acts like a hormonal teenager most of the time

 

[Faffalina]

aaargh I'm so tired. Can't wait for the regression to sort itself out... Last night wasn't even that bad (woke 4 times) but you just never seem to catch up on decent sleep!

 

[freckleonear]

We had it at about 10 months and it lasted for over a month. It was far worse than the 4 month one!

Eek!

My son has slept through since 7 weeks and never had a problem. His 8 and half months now and won't settle at night. His recently started crawling, pulling himself up and walking along the sofa. I put him to bed now as soon as I do he screams pulls himself up and won't settle unless you pick him up and it repeats for hours. They say it's the brain as they learn so much at this age. I hope it doesn't last long

 

[LPF]

We didn't - we had a shocking 4 month (lasted from 15-25 weeks) but from 6 - 9.5 months was the best he's ever slept - then he started nursery and was ill a lot and waking at times but no regression.

It's all been one big sleep regression so far, over 8 months and counting
