3 month sleep regression

Following because my 3 month old is starting to show signs he’s going to hit sleep regression soon and I want to get a jump on how to survive because I know it’ll hit me like a truck hauling rocks when it finally hits.

@wellrestedweeones on Instagram has a lot of great sleep tips. Every baby is different but what helped ours was having a strict sleep routine that we did exactly the same every night, trying to feed her as much during the day as possible, and weaning her off of needing to be fed or rocked to fall asleep.

I just went through this and I think we are on the other side of it now. You have to teach your baby how to self sooth and sleep now. After 3 weeks of constantly rocking my baby back to sleep I stopped and started gentle sleep training. Put baby down awake, full belly, and clean diaper. Make sure the temp of the room is right and the room is pitch black for all naps and nighttime sleep. When you put baby down, leave the room. I would let my baby cry for 10 minutes and then I would come back into the room. Don’t pick up the baby. Give them a head rub, binky, and some pats. Then leave, do this until they fall asleep. For naps, I have been making my baby stay in the crib for 1 hour. If they wake up early, leave them in the crib until the hour is up. After 3 days of this naps started to get longer again, and he started to learn to put himself back to sleep in the middle of the night.
