8 months won’t sleep more than 2 hours
I read many post on the site relating to “8 months” and tried but it didn’t work. Our 8 months ( 2 weeks less than 9 months) has been very cranky.
He wakes up on every little sound or if his bouncer isn’t rocking. In night it has been painful for us. He wake up every 2 hours, flip and stand up. It won’t go back to sleep and won’t stop crying when we try to make him sleep. It’s has been very traumatic for me as I lost job because my wife can’t handle him and he cries all day and I can’t find time to job hunt. He has totally stopped me thinking of even having more kids.
We tried to feed him before sleep so he stays full, that sometimes work to max of 3 hours but he won’t anything too expect for sweet and just spoon of it. Anything we buy or cook for him which is salty he won’t eat.
Some might say he is too big for bouncy which is correct but he won’t go to sleep without rocking unless literally too tired and his pacifier which he suckle all the time. He does has constipation.

Have you taken him to the pediatrician? It's not uncommon for a child to wake up throughout the night but at this age it should be getting better. If the diaper is dry and clean and the baby is full and there isn't anything that you see that may be bothering him then it seems to be a habit. When this happened to us we used the cry it out method. We knew there wasn't anything wrong so we let our kids cry and self soothe and soon after that the issue was resolved.
