Sleep regression

Yep my baby is a terrible sleeper and it's only seeming to get worse 😩 I'm actually so tempted to stop BF all together to see if it helps as I just can't physically do it anymore it's so exhausting

My baby has been doing the exact same thing & I EBF so it feels some what more relentless 🙈 last night though I just kept trying to soothe her back to sleep. Kept trying with her dummy and she went back without a feed. I just think it will be a distant memory soon. Roll with it nap in the day if you can. Last night I went to sleep same time as her at 8pm and I feel so refreshed for doing it and not trying to stay up 🤣

Sending love! Not as bad but mine started waking between midnight & 1 2 weeks ago which has triggered a night long fight with her dummy & me getting up constantly to put it back in. I usually end up giving in and bringing her into bed as the comfort of me distracts from the missing dummy. So hard when they used to behave one way and now they've changed it entirely. She's bottle fed, which helps, and I definitely don't have it as bad as others. Sending strength x

Having the battle here as well. He is bottlefed - has a 4 -5 stint and then is up every 2 hours. He wont nap during the day without alot of crying and even getting him down bow at nights takes an hr when he used to always be pretty easy🥲🥲. We can do this ladies

Same here. I’ve realised I don’t even think it’s wanting to be feed every time but more for comfort and reassurance. He was doing great at going down at night but the past two weeks now I’ve had to hold him 24/7. I guess I’ll just power through and hope he can settle more soon. I know people who combo feed who have the same issue - think it’s more growth spurt, teething and development more than anything else.

Girls I highly recommend huckleberry. My November baby is my second and with my first I was exactly the same his sleep was all over the place and it was a battle every nap and bedtime. Now my November baby wakes once/twice a night for a quick breastfeed and she’s straight back to sleep. I have some free trials for huckleberry premium if anyone wants one. You log the sleep and it tells you the ‘sweet spots’ for when they should next nap and when bedtime should be! It honestly saved my sanity xx

Hi I'd love a free trial please x

EBF mama - been going through this for about 6 weeks! He pretty much slept through until the regression and I’m yet to see it ending anytime soon 😅 Sorry no advice but just to know you’re no alone 🫶🏻 We do a mix of cot an co-sleeping depending on the sort of night he’s having!

Yeah the 4 month regression is hell!! I remember with my first being the worst part of having a baby. It doesn’t last forever and does get easier as the weeks go by. I think you’ve just got to ride the wave unfortunately. Take any support you can and sleep whenever you can!
