  We had a serious sleep backslide at eight weeks as well. Had been getting five or six hours, then suddenly he was up after two. At ten weeks, we're back to where we were. It could be a growth spurt or "wonder week." I don't have any advice other than that other moms have told me eight is a rough week, too.

  I feel your pain!  LO still isn't consistently sleeping well.  On the best nights, he sleeps from 8 until 2 and then is up at 5, then 6, then up for the day at 7.  That's only happened once or twice, though.  Most nights he goes down for the night at 8 and then wakes at 12-1, 3, 5, and then is up for good at 6 or 6:30.  And this didn't start until he was about 8 weeks old.  Until then he was up at 11 and then every 2.5 hours thereafter.

  I have to say, the hardest nights have been the nights AFTER he has given us a good stretch.  I remember one night he had the BEST night of sleep he's ever had... he slept from 8-2, ate, then slept until 6.  The night after that, he was up every 2.5 hours, and I think I cried every time he woke me up.  I was thinking he'd turned a corner, but it was only a tease. 

  He sleeps like absolute crap during the day, too.  I think I'm destined to live my life on NO sleep from here on out!

  ug so I feel my LO is nowhere near STTN at 8 wks.

  He was sooooo restless last night. Woke up a bunch of times. I didn't feed him every time

  8pm put in crib after feeding

  1030- woke up I fed him

  130 wkoe up I fed him

  330 woke up I roc -ked him back to sleep

  430 woke up I tried rocking but he wanted to eat - fed him

  6 woke up w/ a blow out poopie diaper -changed him and put him back down and he woke up at 830 (I let him slep on his belly for that time so he slept long)

  I feel like we're going backwards instead of going longer between feeding

   

  We may have the same baby.... I have been wondering the same thing. I sure hope he starts sleeping through the night soon, we are starting to lose our minds with sleep deprivation!

  Ours isn't waking up quite that much, but he has definitely gone backwards instead of forwards -- used to go to bed at 8, wake at 2 and 6 but now he's going to bed between 8 and 10 depending on the day, and waking up 3 or more times.  :c(
