M will be 9 months next week. We've sleep-trained and nap-trained, and he's been a great napper and great sleeper for months now.
For naps, he'll fall asleep within 5-10 minutes after I put him down awake. He usually does protest cry a little but once he's asleep, he takes 2 naps a day, each lasting 1.5-2 hrs (for total of 3.5-4 hrs a day). He STTN.
Since yesterday, the naps are worse than a nightmare. He's not sick, not teething. We've done the exact same nap routine and I've followed his usual sleepy cues.
Yesterday's morning nap (at 10a) ended up with him crying and screaming for 50 minutes. I went in 2x to soothe him but he just kept crying. He'd fall asleep for 3 minutes then wakes up and screams again. I had to abort the nap after 50 minutes of this, and he ended up taking his nap at 12 noon (5 hrs after waking up in the AM). He did nap for 2.5hrs. The afternoon nap was another screamfest and I had to abort that too. So he only had one single nap all day with 5 hrs of awake time in the AM and in the PM.
Today he's taken 2 short naps (50 mins each) with crying for 15-20 minutes before falling asleep. He's been up since 1:50pm and it's now 5:20pm. I can't get him take his 3rd nap even though he's exhausted. He's screaming his head off. Every time I go into his room, he stops crying, and tries to grab my leg through the slats. When I pick him up, he calms down but screaming resumes as soon as I put him down. The crying/screaming is absolutely killing me.
How long is this going to last??? Seriously this is 100x worse than sleep training.

They say there is a big sleep regression between 8-10 mos because of all of the developmental milestones that occur during that period and DS2 is going through it in spades! Their little brains are just working overtime. He is also insanely attached to me and has moments when all he wants to do is stare at me through the crib slats. Just last night, he was screaming for me and only me (he says mama). Between teething, reflux med adjustments, milestones, and typical regressions, he's had back to back issues with only a week or two in between. CIO doesn't make a bit of a difference, so I can only assume something is going on in that little head of his.
So sorry for the frustration. DS2 is 10 months and has been in the throws of this for weeks. It sucks
