Sleep

I'm at a lost, my 3-month-old who will turn 4 months old on the 29th is not sleeping. She hasn't slept really all day but maybe 10 minutes like twice so like 20 minutes total. I can tell that she is very tired she's yawning she's not cranky surprisingly but she's also not really eating help what do I do

My baby is doing the same thing he’s eating like 3-4 ounces instead of his normal 5-6 naps are doing okay but nighttime he’s cranky crying yelling and will fall asleep on my arms then when I put him down he’ll sleep for 15 mins then wake up

Welcome to the 4 month regression, my friend! We're all drowning together 🫠 I hope your night sleep doesn't get too trashed like mine is right now. Bub went from being an Okay sleeper and napper to now his naps are 20 minutes and he only sleeps 1.5 hours at a time.

Once I can actually get him to sleep he’ll sleep pretty good about 3-4 hours at night

Mine is also 4 months on the 29th and doing similar! It's the beginning of the sleep regression. As they become more aware they like to give up sleep and eat less so they can see what's going on. It will get easier and they will eat when they're hungry. Its going to be hard for a little while. Something that helped me with my ebf baby to actually eat is I started facing the boring thing like the wall so she can see the exciting things around while actually eating. Nights are hard and I know its tempting to try different things to soothe them and get them to go to sleep but changing the routine can actually make it worse. Try to keep the bed time routine the same

Sleep during the day.

My nearly 4 week baby girl loves her sleep at night and will easily settle back down after her feeds however, during the day I struggle to get her to sleep or when she does she will sleep in my arms, if I try to transfer her to her cot she wakes straight away. Any suggestions on how I can help her or what I’m doing wrong?

How many words is good for 18 months? My child says 22 words that I’ve counted and I feel proud but is this just average lol

Wake windows a myth for some?

My baby seems to laugh in the face of wake windows. We wake around 6-7am, he might fall asleep after his breakfast feed for a little bit but his only other long nap is our lunchtime walk in the carrier. Otherwise he is awake for hours on end but seemingly quite happy.

If anyone has a newborn who also doesn’t conform to the whole 60m rule, don’t worry, your baby isn’t broken and you’re not doing anything wrong, just go with their flow!

Bed Time - 4 months old

Hey mamas! How is everyone coping with an early bed time routine at 4 months old? My old friend chat gpt reckons that an early bed time of 7pm-9pm should be the norm but my girl will not go to bed until after 10pm 😭. Is it too early for sleep training or do most just follow their baby’s tired cues? X

Did anyone else’s epidural not work?

Writing retrospectively here. I had a epidural with my 1st baby in 2025 and it pretty much had no effect, I was in absolute agony the whole time (hours). Anyone else experience this?

Midwife now says this isn’t normal and I shouldn’t have been in pain.
Due my 2nd in 6 weeks and debating weather I should go for one again. 😣
