Baby waking up super upset

Hey ladies, My lo has woken up the last few nights super upset. Like not the usual grizzle for attention because he's hungry. More of a panicked, actual tears, distressed cry. And it's not easy to then settle him. We got there just now and ended up giving him some Calpol in case he's in pain but I don't know if it could be a night terror or maybe separation anxiety (as he sleeps in his own room). He's not particularly got separation anxiety in the day time so I don't know what's going on really. Has anyone experienced anything like this? He's 8.5 months Thanks xx

I could have written this myself! My little boy is also 8.5 months, not really any separation anxiety in the day - but is waking 1-2 hourly at night and needing to be settled back to sleep (he used to self settle). I am exhausted, but keep telling myself it’s a phase and will pass. It’s so hard though! X

@Charlotte my son’s exactly the same at the moment! He used to sleep through too 😪 xx

Mines 9 months and the same. We had a week of every night and now seems hit and miss. I have to properly get him to stop crying by reading a story and putting him back down
