1 year old not sleeping

Did anyone else's 1 year old suddenly become a bad sleeper? My son used to sleep through the night pretty much every night and if he woke he would have a bottle and go back to bed. Since turning 1 I think he's slept through maybe 4 or 5 times in 6 weeks. And when he wakes now he's awake for at least an hour up to 3 hours. He is also only falling asleep in my arms now day and night with a lot of hard work. Anyone have any advice? I also got a Riff Raff sleep aid which is no help.

Hell yes, kids sleep routines change all the time! Kids go through phases of insomnia or bad sleep just like adults.

Maybe check that he doesn't have worms? If he goes to daycare or plays in sandpits it can be fairly common. Always worth checking. They come out at night to lay eggs and can keep little ones up with itching
