Hi im a FTM of a 8 month old bb boy and a couple of months ago he was the perfect baby not fussy he slept 12 hrs at night and was very independent, then all of a sudden he stopped sleeping through the night and went to waking 2-3 times a night and not just waking and crying it was waking and hysterically screaming at the top of his lungs and then he has also gone to being very dependant and everytime i lay him down to change him he screams at me till i pick him up again.

ik he is not ill or has an ear infection or having night terrors, my guess is maybe separation anxiety but he will still scream even if im sitting right next to him. if i am not holding him then it is a huge problem, this is very hard on me bc i am a single mom so i have tons of things to do and i work from home as well so it is hard to operate having to hold him all day 24/7.

my question is how do i idk get him to go back to the baby he was at 6 and 7 months also how do i get him to sleep through the night again. anyone else out there dealing with this? im so lost lol
