Slept through night since 7wks but not anymore!!

Now that sounds familiar! I had the same thing with DD - she was a beautiful sleeper and then a monster baby took over my DD at about the 5.5 month mark. It did pass but I'm sorry to say its back again at 9 months. I think its just one of those things you have to expect in the first couple of years. I've been told that when your baby is going through big developmental changes you can expect bad sleeping, and about six months is definitely a big time for change.

All I can suggest is what I did to get through - accept that you can't change it and that you will be giving lots of cuddles until this stage passes. You might need a few cuddles yourself by the time you're done

LOL Sorry hun, but I agree that is just a phase.
I have found that with dd, as soon so I LOVE the way she is behaving or her routine, she will change her routine for whatever reason (teeth, growth-spurt, ect) and bugger MY routine.

You will just have to keep your chin up and wait it out.

I have to add that you must keep a close eye on her. If she gets a fever, or you feel that something is really fishy, take her to the dr. My poor dd cried for a week and I tried EVERYTHING (she did not have a fever) and out of utter desperation I took her to the dr and she had airway-infection So you never really know

Goodluck

O I hear you on the teething thing!!! I was expecting that darn tooth since she was four months old and it only came when she was 11 months!!!! I think we "blame" teething easy, because we really, really don't know what else to say

it sucks when this happens!
makon was the same slept from 3 weeks until 6 months and i think i could count on my hands the amount of times he has slept through since!!(yup he is 2.5 yrs old now!) he got teeth at 3 months so it wasnt them that caused the issue

im hoping Arquene will do the opposite!she has been a terrrible sleeper so im hoping soon she will start sleeping through!

i hope it all settles soon for you!

Well it is a little bit of comfort knowing that other mum's out there are going through or have gone through the same thing!! I guess you have just got to go with your child wants and it should pass as quickly as it came!!

Nadine - aww poor thing. I think Avaleigh is crying mainly cause she is so blocked up still from her cold, but if anything is fishy, we will be at the doctors.

Oh and she was a MUCH happier baby after we had some time apart (I went to the gym and she was in creche) LOL. Came home and had a major sleep and woke up happy, no tears! And then we had a great play before another sleep. Oh its so good when they are happy!!
