Baby waking frequently, usually sleeps through

Hi everyone. My little 12 week old boy has gone from sleeping 6-8 hours in the night, to waking every 2-3 hours. Not sure if it's the hot weather or the fact that we stopped swaddling him? He did have one good night the first night we left him unswaddled. I dressed him in a short sleeve vest and pants with a light blanket on top, room is 24 degrees. Could he be too hot?

The same things happening with my little girl! She’d normally sleep a couple of hours straight, but she’s been waking up after 3hrs for feed, I’m thinking it might be part of their sleep regression? Not really sure tho

I could have written this myself! We have transitioned from the Moses basket into a travel cot. But he goes to sleep fine when we first put him down then wakes at least three times a night. Before this he was managing some nights of sleeping from 7.30pm until 5am so we know he can do it. I was wondering if it was part of the sleep regression too 🥴

@Fay I don’t know if their are other signs of a sleep regression but she’s been waking up more constantly and she’s more clingy at bedtime now!😩

@Habs he's definitely more clingy during the day and very fussy too. My partner tried to give him a bottle of expressed milk at bedtime last night and he wouldn't take it. I sat down with it and he took it straight away. I'm hoping it's just a phase but this is week 2 and it's exhausting! 🙃

We are having this too. We haven’t changed anything about his bedtime so I’m guessing it’s either a sleep regression or the weather. Fingers crossed it’ll return to normal soon 🤞🏼

Mine is too but I think he needs more milk due to the hot weather so he’s not getting dehydrated so is waking more during the night so he can get what he needs x

Yes my 13 week old just started doing 6 hour stretches and now all of a sudden she’s waking every 2 hours again 😭

Exactly the same think it must be the regression I hope so cause if this get worse I’ll die 😂😂

My 12 week old did this as a one off about a week ago! She suddenly decided that she needed to be fed every two hours 😅

My wee boy is 16 weeks now. More grumpy than ever. Crying more. Last night was up every 1.5-2 hours crying. I’m absolutely done in and so stressed about his sleep. I don’t know how to fix it because when I try and put him down awake he just screams.

Mine has been the same and I realised it's a combination of sunrise being earlier, growth spurt so wanting to feed more, teething, vaccinations and the weather changing all at once 😭
