8 month sleep regression or separation anxiety
i posted on here a few times expressing how my baby rarely sleeps through the night, was told to increase ww to 3/3/4 which usually i would follow. she knows how to put herself to sleep if placed in the correct time frame ww with her pacifier and even slept almost through the whole night many nights but still woke up here and there. she recently got sick and still is congested and i believe she is also teething, aside from giving medicine and suctioning her nose to help her feel more comfortable, she still remains uncomfortable. she is no longer to soothe herself to sleep & hasn’t been taking her usual naps well, she is back to taking 30-40 minute naps and will only go to sleep by feeding to sleep or rocked to sleep. she is constantly protesting nap time and bed time, i’m just confused because i have read a few people on here say that regressions are real and usually a timing issue. please help me, i feel like i am failing as a mother because other babies are so easy to nap and sleep through the night and i feel like i’m the reason my baby isn’t able to. she is ebf and her crib is right next to my bed due to her dad not wanting her to move into her own room, some nights i am so tired that i give in to cosleeping (safely) which i hate because i feel like i really don’t rest. what do i do to get her to go to sleep on her again and stop waking up screaming in the middle of the night? she knows how to stand, crawl and sit down from standing so i don’t believe that’s the problem. please help me, thank you!!!
