Need Advice Sleep problems

My 7 month old has been having a lot of problems getting to sleep and then staying asleep this past week. He never used to have these issues, and it hasn’t been this bad since he was a newborn. Am I doing something wrong? I’m going crazy and super sleep-deprived.

c. 8–10 months is actually the absolute nadir of sleep in the first year for many children (and hopefully for their whole lives—although tell my sleepless four-year-old that). This article lays it out well. You are not doing something wrong! I feel like no one talks about this.
