4 month sleep regression?

My babies gone back to sleeping like she’s 1 week old. Refusing to sleep in the snuzpod, only way I can get some rest is to put her next to me in the bed. she’s gone from sleeping 3-4 hrs at start of night and then waking every 2hrs at end of night in her snuzpod. Now she wakes up after 10 minutes of being in her snuzpod and cries and cries until I nurse her to sleep again. She sleeps in the bed but even then wakes up every hour. This has been going on for about 2 weeks now.
I have no idea what to do! Any advice please!!

has your room got colder when I get the amount of layers wrong we have more frequent wakes

No advice but wanted to say I am experiencing the same sleep regression. Our little one never slept that well, 3 times waking was a normal night but recently was teething and now started the 2 hour wake up pattern. I know it's normal but it's so rough and it must be really tough now it's worse for you both. Hope someone has some more advice here! 🙏 x

No advice also but just commenting to say what you’ve described could be me 😂 mine sleeps in her snuzpod by day but when night comes she wakes up and cries the minute I put her down in it. I don’t have anything bigger so can’t try that but she loves being in her sleepyhead/dockatot thing and that’s tiny so not sure that’s her issue. I’m just putting her in bed with me after night feeds as it’s too hard to settle her.
Hoping it’s just a phase and so te itself out!

No advice, just empathy. My LB will only sleep if held or in the bed and wakes whenever put in his next to me. He’s up every 30 minutes to an hour, it’s exhausting. And he won’t sleep in his snuzpod anymore, definitely outgrown it and only wants to be held. Think it’s the sleep regression

This is exactly what I’m going through currently as well! My little one sleeps in the dockatot during the day and I have tried removing it at night but she still cries.

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
