4 month regression - positive stories!!

Has anyone got any positive stories of their little one not being too affected by hitting 4 months?

I’ve got really bad anxiety that any night now it could go down hill, and I’m seeing posts constantly about how bad it is.

Please someone reassure me that they’re past that stage and it wasn’t so bad?!

We didn’t get any 4 month regression! We did get one at 6 months though and it lasted 3 weeks

My son is 4 months in 9 days and we haven’t hit the 4 month sleep regression. We no longer rock him to sleep because he self soothes (thumb sucking, rubbing head) and he sleeps 12 hours through the night with no wakings. We worked on sleep pretty much since he was born by helping him soothe and soothing him actively any time he was slightly upset (rocking, allowing him to feed as often as he liked)

Oh and we watched for every little sleep cue and immediately started nap/bed time when he showed his first cue to avoid over tiredness

We never experienced one.. Some babies transition quite easily through it 😊

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
