8.5 mo night waking

Hello all!

My LO is 8.5MO and still waking up multiple times over night. She was a cosleeping baby and still EBF.

We have a floor bed since she’s 6mo because she was crying so much in the crib and I choose my peace of mind for a while.

She was able to do 8/9 stretches over night with contact naps during the day. We are currently switching nap 1 to a bed one and it went to hell since then.

Mind you she’s also improving on motor skills (crawling, sitting by herself) and she’s also teething. I have an overly sensitive baby. So she’s crying regurlarly and I feel it’s getting worse for her sleep cycle transition at night.

Whatever the wake windows OR the daytime sleep she gets, the night stays the same.

She usually wake up a 6
Tried the 3/3.5/3.5 not a success. She woke up 6times while crying last night. She seems over tired.

Today I had to do a small 15minitrs bridge nap since she was up really early at 5:15 (kept her in the dark in the room, but that escalated and we had to move on with the day at 5:45)

She was on 2.5/3.15/2.5/2.5 today with total sleep of 3h

Should I just wait a little considering everything that’s happening? It’s a lot of change at the same time.

Thank u!
