Sleep regression

My lo started the 4 month sleep regression at 13 weeks and it was so so tough! We ended up working with a sleep consultant to improve things after 16 weeks of hourly wakes

Just try to feed to put back to sleep & rock the baby

The wonder weeks app shows this "leap" as potentially starting as early as 14.5 weeks, lasting a month or so. Which includes sleep issues. So yep, I'm sorry to say that it's likely,! Sending you strength 😘

My LB started his at 3m 😫 the worst was waking every 45minutes, the best would give us a chunk of 5 hours and then 2/3 hrs.
3 nights ago, we had a break through, with one wake-up at 3:30am, then back to sleep until 6:30am.
Now my LB is unwell with a cold, and we are now back to several wakes throughout the night😫

My little boy has hit his early, from 12+5 weeks the difference in his overnight sleep was immediate. He’s usually waking every 45 mins-hour.

We are “practicing” putting him down awake but drowsy for daytime naps so he learns to settle himself to sleep, as my understanding is that’s what the sleep regression is about, when they develop circadian rhythm and wake after each sleep cycle when they come back into light sleep and don’t know how to restart the next cycle independently. It doesn’t always work, if he won’t settle on his own after 2 attempts I will revert back to his preferred rocking, patting and shushing to sleep, but it gives them changes to learn the new skill they need to resolve the regression. Fingers crossed, he is showing some signs of improvement in the night, and we have a couple of occasions where he’s woken and begun to fuss but I can just “shh” a few times without getting up and he’s resettled himself and slept for about 3 hours then.

Good luck! It’s a killer!

Mine started right at 16 weeks. Granted she went from waking 3 hrs from the start ofnher last feed to waking every hour so it wasn't that big of a change for us. We used the Taking Cara Babies 4 month sleep resource and it worked for us in 3 nights. Shes never really had a regression since just some bad nights every once in awhile. Happy to share it!
