Yes I had the same for the past 2 weeks. Bad teething symptoms for a week, a couple days back to normal now full of a cold and teething again at the same time. No teeth to show for it🤦🏼‍♀️. Short 30 minute naps in the day and waking up each hour in the night. Last night he slept through for the first time but only after constant fussing and crying from about 8pm-10pm. I was really struggling with it, it's exhausting. Thankful of the sleep we got last night because I dread nighttimes so much recently

I feel you on this and the pinching I'm constantly getting pinched today I made his lunch with him stood between my legs whinging. They are supposed to be getting between like 13 and 15 hours sleep my litte one is lucky if he's hitting 13 hours. We have no teeth at the moment either. I never know if it's gas, teething or just comfort. I'm struggling so much this past week 😭

Just know you can put them down for 5/10 and let them cry they will be completely fine x

@Elena i wish. mine only gets worse

Have you got the wonder weeks app? Apparently there is a leap around 8 months where they are learning loads and it causes everything you have mentioned. Hopefully it won’t last long. Hang in there!

Yeah they will cry but it’s fine they need to know that you’re gonna come back and it’s okay so leaving them to go to the toilet and cry for a bit is completely fine. Mine does the same has been like this for a month now x

My baby has been like this too, so honestly now I'll put her in the playpen for 10mins if I have to, especially if I know she's not hungry or anything, as it's not possible to hold her every second of every day!
