My son turned one early August. We’ve dealt with the typical sleep regressions before, but man this is absolutely brutal.

He used to sleep from 8pm-7am, waking up maybe 1-3x. We’d rub his back, occasionally pick him up & rock him, and he’d be back asleep within 15 minutes. He’d also take 1.5-2 hour naps twice a day (11ish & 3ish).

Not anymore. It’s only been 3-4 days, but I’m literally going insane. This is worse than the newborn phase. He only naps 15-45 min once a day now & wakes up nearly every hour at night. Sometimes, within 30 min. The longest stretch of sleep has been 2.5 hours & I honestly think it’s just because he was SO exhausted.

He is beyond cranky during the day too. I often would boast about the fact that I have “the happiest baby” bc he quite literally never cried or fussed unless he was hungry, tired or needed a change. But he’s been a little terror the last few days. I can’t go pee without him, I haven’t showered, I’m barely eating bc I can’t make food without him screaming & my house is a disaster. I’m at my breaking point.

Is there ANYTHING I can do to help him sleep?? I’ve tried feeding him more throughout the day, Tylenol/ibupofen before bed (in case he’s teething), keeping him active and moving during wake windows, practicing new skills, lavender soap at bath time before bed & lavender spray in his room. I’m at such a loss. It’s only 10:30pm right now and he’s woken up 3 times since 8pm.
