7 month old suddenly hard to resettle

[Arcadia]

Hi steria, we have had nights like this, usually when a cold is coming on or teething.

I tend to take DD into bed with me if she won't go into her cot after 2 attempts. Don't stress about bad habits, because DD has always gone back to her old routine once the cold is passed/teeth have cut through.

HTH

Devon: Good to know I'm not the only one. It's doing my head in - I am so tired!!!

Anna: I suppose it could be teething, but it's hard to say, cause his two first teeth came through without any fuss whatsoever.

All the night waking certainly makes for a tired cranky little boy, and an even tireder and crankier mummy!

6-7 months is often a difficult time. I'm not sure why.
In my DS' case I think it was largely due to a spike in separation anxiety.
It will pass. Probably best to just do whatever makes it easier on you all till he's settling better again

I've just been through a week of this and DS is 7 months next week. It was absolutely doing my head in but last night we had a solid 7pm to 7am with one wake at 3am. For us is definetly teething and also i feel like he's got to an age where he's more alert and separation anxiety is big LOL. It will pass and just knowing that there's other people out there going through the exact same thing at their age makes you realise it's not you, it's your baby it's just part of it.
Good luck and passing on the good vibes of sleep
