Help! Sleeping struggles!

Well, it could be the 4 month regression starting soon. Was your baby early/late when born?

I remember my son's regression. I thought it was because we were transitioning out of swaddle, but looking back, it was DEFINITELY the 4 month regression, around 13/14 weeks old. I handled night time wakes normally to breastfeed, but we had to start alternating parents during the night so we could sleep more than 60 minutes.

Baby would go to sleep, after much trial and error, then wake 60-90 minutes later. I'd pick up, he'd fall back asleep. But it would take me FOREVER to get him back to bed. I'd eventually nurse, and it was Dad's turn.

I was induced at 39 weeks. And I was starting to think he was hitting a sleep regression. I just really don't want to make co-sleeping a habit. (Nothing wrong with co-sleeping. It's just not ideal for us)

Us either. One thing to remember is that at this age, there's not really a habit you can't break with them. It seems like the contact napping and early morning bed shares (so you can squeeze in a little more sleep yourself) are bad habits, but it's not forever. We sleep trained at 16 weeks and he was a rock star from night one. We did a lot of crazy (safe) things for his and our sleep during that regression. Now, He sleeps in his own bed for naps and night time. 😊

That makes me feel a lot better! He's been on a really good schedule since he was almost 2month old. He goes down around 9- 9:30 wakes up to eat around 6 and then goes back to sleep and snuggles with me till about 9 -10ish. But he's always been in his own bed during the night until the past 2 nights.

tips on sleep training?

I knew I needed structure or I'd cave, so we did the Little Z Sleep baby program. My husbands support was key to my sanity during that time. He did the majority of the program for the first couple of days. I cried lol I also got their extra support package so I could ask them a million questions. They have been so wonderful. Stuff comes up as your baby gets older and they are always there with support. He's almost 15 months 🥰
