Surely the sleep regression now?

There's been a few times over the last week or two where I've thought LB has hit the 4 month sleep regression but then because it's not been every night I've thought it can't be - but can that happen? That it's not every night that's impacted? Last night was horrendous. It took about 4 hours to get him down despite him showing sleepy cues and we had about 4 false starts. He started showing sleepy cues at around 8.45pm and didn't get him to bed until around 1am. He did a fair bit of practicing rolling yesterday too which he is nearly there with (can roll back to side and can roll front to back assisted, but not front to back independently or back to front yet) and I know new skills play a part in this. Just seems odd it's not every single night?

I’m going through exactly the same thing! Day time naps have been a struggle for two weeks now and we have had a few nights of lots of waking up but then other nights sleeps straight through 🤔

My LO is 4 months and hates sleeping during the day. Naps for 10/15 minutes max then wakes up and chooses violence and just starts screaming. But at night, he's sleeping for 5-7 hours without waking for a feed. I'm not used to him sleeping during the night. It's been 3/4 nights he's been like this and I'm still not used to it.

@Mollie day time naps have been garbage for us for ages now so I at least think they can't get any worse 😅 but these nights! Yeah we had one the other night where he woke every 20mins to half an hour. And his night sleep is normally ok! But then had one or two "normal" nights then last night was torture again?!

@Lincy Ann mine has hated daytime sleep for ages now. Can't remember the last time he had a decent day time nap. That sounds decent for your nights though!

Same happening with my boy. Very up and down. One night he’ll sleep until 4am, the next he will wake at 10pm. Very unpredictable and naps are a shower of shit

@Rhiannon I think we're in the thick of it aren't we 😫

Good question if it’s not every night 🤔 but just to say we are in the trenches right now with the exact same, false starts is such a good description! Took us so many goes last night til she finally went down at 2am 💀 but only for like 30 mins each time til 6am 💀. Whyyyy x

@Leanne it's horrific 😅 but yeah I don't know if would be every night with the sleep regression or if it can be odd nights like this? X
