please tell me it will get better

yes it will get better, DS only wakes once, maybe twice a night and it is mostly at dawn and we just cuddle back to sleep. 9 mnths is a horrendus (sp) age for sleep cause there is seperation anxiety, often teeth and developmental leaps all happening at once. it doesn't help with the sleep deprivation though

It will pass hun. I had my darling boy waking up every 1-3 hours every night for 5 months between 4 mths old and 9mths old. He now sleeps every night from 7-7 and only wakes if he is hot or sick, and he sleeps for 3 hours during the day every day, at nearly 2. At the time though I was ready to run away and join the circus. I was SO exhausted so I totally feel for you. If I get less than 4 hours in a row then I feel horrific. Can you go to bed early and get your DP to get up so you can get a bit of a longer stretch?

DD is 13 months and 4 wake-ups is on the good side of normal around here. DS was the same (slightly worse...) and he dropped back to 2-3 wake ups around 18 months. He is down to one wake-up now at 3. This too shall pass, this too shall pass....

It WILL get better!!!!! I had a terrible sleeper waking 4 times a night at around 12 months old, now she is 20 months and sleeps from 5.30pm till 5.30 am! I never thought it would happen. Hang in there!!! It feels like it will never end but one day you will get a good night sleep, big hugs
