4 month regression

1 month I think, according to wonder weeks xx

Wow 🙃

The wonder weeks leap isn’t the same as the 4 month sleep regression, although they are both 4’s! Wonder weeks Leap 4 relates to brain development but does last a month which may see an increase in the 3 C’s (crying, clingy, cranky). The ‘4 month sleep regression’ may happen anytime between 3-5 months and could last days or weeks or months depending on the baby. It’s when babies sleep cycles change so they experience light sleep which wakes them up easier. Most babies don’t know how to self soothe as used to being fed/rocked so causes lots of night wakings. The tips I’ve read is to work on self settling/soothing techniques, this doesn’t mean cry it out but reassuring them and supporting them to get back to sleep until they can do so themselves. Tips I’ve read is not to feed at every wake and not letting them nap for ages 3+ hours in the day so they don’t confused night/day.
