Their little brains are learning so many new things, it must be hard for them to shut off. My daughter (I think) would fight her sleep cos she never wanted to miss out on anything happening haha curious little creatures. Hopefully she’ll grow out of it

Clever little monkey! its just a phase, just ride it out… what I suggest maybe when this happens interact with her as least as possible. try toys etc in cot for her to entertain herself and maybe a soft light. Only go in there when she is crying and try and re settle her, she will move past this phase. hope it dont last too long.

My toddler went through the same phase, if it is nothing medically serious, just ride it out I think.

maybe is the new skill learning process that is causing him to have trouble sleeping… it is only temporarily though

Just ride it out. When she cries, just pat her and lie her back down straight away. No other stimulation at all so she doesn’t turn it into a game.

ride it out and always put her straight back to bed until she learns to sleep through again

how is it going now?

Just ride it out. She has reached another milestone and this will pass. You could try to wrap her if you want to restrict her movement

My 7 month old is currently doing the same thing and it’s so exhausting! Hoping it’s just a faze

I’d say its just a phase, this is a really exciting age for bubs, they wake up and want to play!

there are some good comments here

Great to know it’s not just me! She is still doing it, but will just keep pushing through.

have u tried having a toy for her to play with in the cot

My baby is almost 9 months and does the same thing. I am trying to put her to sleep a little later and still she has a kind of nap and is very awake after 40 minutes of sleep. Last night I wasn’t able to put her back to bed before midnight. I am getting very tired and have no idea what I should do. Thinking to call Tresillian…

yeah just ride it out shes will go back to it

Ride it out, they always change their patterns. They get you into a false sense of routine. It could still be teeth even if you can’t see them, but it might be wind, growing pain, nightmares or just a change in her sleep pattern. Keep putting her back after a quick cuddle of pat and hopefully it won’t last long. Better than 4am.

Most babies start waking again at 7-8 months, even if they have been sleeping thru for awhile, they like to try out their new found skills of crawling etc, it will settle back down again, as tough as it is they do go thru a few different cycles of waking until they’re about 2, our 3yr old didn’t really settle completely into sleep thru until he was 2 1/2, our 8mth old is a much better sleeper, and has just gone back to sleeping thru, all are very different, go back to the routine you had when you taught her to sleep thru 1st time around, they’re clever little things and work out fast what to do, now she’s on the go she’ll burn more calories, maybe she’s a little hungry?

ride it out.

my baby dies that too

Not knowing what the routine is for the day perhaps try putting him to bed a little later at night. It might be that even though hes tired when you put him to bed he is not tired enough and so he has a snooze to take the edge off.
Dont get him up when he wakes….stay in his room with the light dim …dont really interact to much and just keep putting him back down to sleep.
