My son turned eight months old this week and I feel like he’s a different kid lately. Constantly fussy, taking forever to fall asleep and then waking up midway through the night when he was sleeping through for weeks.

He is definitely trying to crawl and pull himself up. He doesn’t look like he’s teething.

I feel bad for him because clearly his little brain is in overdrive but I also feel guilty as hell because he’s…kind of annoying! Just weeks ago, his default was happy, he was a good sleeper and I could step away from him without him crying (hello separation anxiety).

I’ve read this is common at this age. Looking for someone who’s on the other side of this. How long did this last for you?
