Is this normal? Our routine keeps changing g there was a time he would go 7-8 hour but that changed sleep regression
I’m just coming out of that he was waking every 2 hours so happy with the new schedule, but also really exhausted 😩.
Any tip?

Try to really stick to a routine! My daughter is at her 4 month sleep regression and I use to just go to bed whenever and hope that she slept, and she had a really hard time getting and staying sleep. Now I have a routine with her and always do some stimulation time around 8 and tummy time, then give her a bath with toys, obviously she doesn’t play with them because she’s only 4 months but she acknowledges them which is enough 😂, then put some organic sleepy time chest rub on her when she gets out and blow dry her (it’s weird but she loves it and it makes her sleepy) then I put her on her Jammies and feed her while we are in bed by 9:30 and she’s knocked every single time.

do you have a pic of the chest rub?

5 months is when my daughter went through the worst sleep regression I’ve ever seen. Lasted 6 weeks

At that age they are able to recognize routines so it could help him mentally get ready for sleep if you really stick to it.

yes! One sec

He is literally a tiny little baby still. Yes it’s normal. I know people with kids who are like 2-3 years old who still wake in the night

thank u!

also have you noticed if he’s started teething yet? My daughter has at not even quite 4 months and has had a hard time falling asleep during the day for naps because of the itchy or painful gums.

My baby is almost 5 months and he’s waking every 3 hours atm, he used to only wake once before sleep regression! It’s better than every hour but I’m still wondering when this regression will end😴😂

Sleep isn't linear and it doesn't regulate until 4-5 years old. This sounds completely normal and unfortunately you just have to go with the flow sometimes. If you do schedules then stick to it and make sure they get enough to eat during the day but that's about all you can do

Totally normal. I'm lucky if I get over 3hrs in a stretch.
