Can sleep regression start as soon as 13 weeks?🤯

My little girl just completed 12 weeks and bang on the next day, became a different baby altogether🤯 She used to sleep 5-6 hours stretches at night and was easy to fall asleep.. now she doesn't want to go to sleep and even if she somehow manages to fall asleep, it's within half an hour she wakes up and starts wailing on top of her lungsšŸ˜µā€šŸ’« doesn't accept feeds most of the time and is super hard to be re settled😭 Daytime nap has gone haywire too. It's night 4 And I am all alone with an extremely fussy baby🄺 Future looks bleak to me already! Is this the much dreaded 4 month sleep regression? Can it start so early? If so, will this ever get better?

Oh no! I have read it can start as early as 13 weeks. I unfortunately haven’t heard any great advice on how to get through except to stay consistent. Get her to eat during the day as much as possible. Utilize car/stroller/carrier naps during the day and to not start any habits you don’t want to continue. My little guy is 12 weeks so I haven’t experienced yet but praying it goes away quickly for you

Our little man started at 13 weeks, yes! I can happen any time from 3 months to 5 months seemingly. Currently on week 5 of being awake every 1 hour to 2 hours max (week 6 on Sunday), and screaming at bedtimes 😪 no tips just solidarity! The stuff everyone has suggested just hasn’t worked for us, so just carrying on hoping that he goes back to only being up 2-4 times a night!

Hi. I know this was a while ago so sending hope thst you've come out the other side. How long did it take to come out of the other side? My baby is 14 weeks and we started this regression just over a week ago. It's do hard, I honestly don't know how I'm going to make the next 6 or so weeks!

@Grace ours lasted about a month but it was not bad. Happened at the same time we transitioned to his own room and out of the swaddle so not sure how much was regression or the transitions. He’d wake once a night and it’d take about an hour or two for him to fall back asleep. Over the course of a month he woke about half the nights and slept through the other half. Ultimately we sleep trained because he was putting himself to sleep but was still waking randomly and wasn’t hungry, he was tired, but just couldn’t get back to sleep. Sleep training only took 2 nights. All I did was stick to what I said above. Stayed consistent. Kept him full during the day. Didn’t introduce bad habits. Extended wake windows to close to 2 hours. And gave him chances to fall asleep on his own
