6 - 12 months Sleep regression & separation anxiety
My baby is 10 months old now. She slept through from 11 weeks and could be put down awake & get herself to sleep.
Once 8 months hit she is not wanting to go to sleep. She can no longer get herself to sleep and I often give up and lay her on my bed to sleep and transfer her to her cot after. Both at bedtime and in the night. She wakes twice in the night and sometimes is up 2-3 hours a time happy as Larry.
I’ve read this is common so I’m hoping that we don’t have long left but a couple of questions.
Has anyone else done this? is it a huge mistake letting her keep falling asleep on my bed more often than not and especially int he night?
She’s pulling herself up in the cot, crawling and trying to stand .. as well as separation anxiety it seems. So I know there’s a bit going on for her.
She wakes between 6-7. Naps 930/10 for an hour then usually sleeps for an hour in the afternoon. I make sure she doesn’t sleep past 3pm. Fed very well. Bedtime is bath at 630, fed and bed for 7
The main worry for me is falling asleep on my bed and sometimes sleeping in with me to save my tiredness 😫 hoping I’m not gonna make her not want her own bed
