Default no sleep with 9 month old

I am so "toast". My son's sleeping habits are getting worse and worse. He is 9 months old. At first he woke up a few times an hour all night, then he started sleeping in 1.5 - 3 hour spurts through the night between feedings and I was able to get a little rest. Now it is much worse again. The last month now he keeps me up all night. Just as he starts dozing off again and I am about to to start dozing off he is wide awake again. He does not like a pacifier, so I am not getting that kind of help. This goes on all night and I feel like a zombie every day. He doesn't sleep during the day either. A few 10 minute naps maybe while nursing. I can't catch up on sleep during the day because he wants to be carried around and talked to all day or else he gets mad.

Do you feed him at night? How does your overall feeding schedule look like at all. Make sure you feed him more during the day and less at night. It might require some "adjustment", but after a week you should have been able to do this.

He gets his last bottle around 10ish. That bottle lasts until 4/5.30 AM. He hears every noise and then wakes up and stays awake.

That was a rough time with lots of waking in the night for us too. Ds started waking even more during that phase. With all the teething pain, stuffy noses and developmental changes, eek, he was all discombobulated, lol. Plus we realized he had some issues with dairy so that was something to look at as well. You might try The No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley, it has some great tips that helped us a lot.
