Is there a sleep regression around 7 months?

The 4 month wakeful was very hard on us. I feel like we're heading back in that direction. James is fighting naps like crazy, very fussy and clingy all day, and last night for the first time in a long time, we had a rough night with wakenings. I've been up since 3 this morning. Even when he was sleeping, he was slapping me and pulling my hair, just like when he was in the wakeful. He never stopped moving! Usually on the weekends we take his naps together in bed, and even that was very hard to make happen today. 30 minutes of really fighting. He did then nap for two hours, so he must have been exhausted! Did anyone experience some sleep issues around this age? He doesn't seem to be in pain or gassy or teething.

    My son was born 3/11, so close to yours! Anyways I feel like you've been describing our life lately, I have no help. I just wanted to say you aren't alone.

    Not sure if you follow the Wonder Weeks at all - they have an app that lets you track your child's progress as they go in and out of development-linked regressions.  I've found it to be helpful!

    I think I figured it out. He had only had a few small poops the past three days. Tonight he had a HUGE poop. He is currentiy sleeping completely still in my arms. Poor sweet boy.

    I read that nightmares start around 7.5-8months.  My daughter, 7.5months, has been sleeping restlessly lately and had a big nightmare the other night scaring the bejeebers out of me.  She was sleeping in her crib but I was on the bed in the same room and had I been in the other room at the time I would have thought someone was murdering her.  It was the creepiest scary movie murder scream.  She screamed so loud she woke herself...but was perfectly calm.  I nursed us back to sleep.
