3/4 month sleep regression ADVISE

Firstly it hits girls harder than boys from my experience. I would say not to train yet, right now do whatever you need to survive. I can last weeks, I sleep trained my daughter at 6 months and it took 2 days. She was as ready as I was for it. To survive we did shifts and took her for pram walks and car rides to survive. It's a hard time and you are not alone ❤️

Yes just do whatever it takes to get through the regression!! my second was an absolute nightmare at 4 mo’s and I was like wtf have I done 😅
We got into better habits once it was over, and by 7 months he was sleeping 12 hrs in his own room, which he is still doing now! You can get through this 💕

Your second paragraph, ignore all those things except one. The only one i would say you need to consider is the swaddle and this is all dependent on i lf your baby is starting to roll then they can’t be swaddled.

They become more alert at this age and some need less sleep. Your baby cant create a habit at this age. They still think you and them are one person. Couple that with being more alert and no longer a sleepy newborn they will struggle with the separation.

Growth spurts, development and teething all affect sleep so sleep patterns change.

Ignore others and do what works for you and your baby. There are so many sleep consultants who are not certified at all who will be saying you can sleep train a baby and they can sleep throughout the night without food. This is so so dangerous. A baby is biologically wired to need feeds throughout the night until at least one. Those who sleep through are not the norm and don’t tend to sleep through the whole time in their first year….

Hey! Responsive sleep coach here! It’s definitely not the time to remove support when it comes to sleep - do what you need to do to get rest :) sleep needs can also drop by around 2 hours at this age too! I’ve got some tips here:

I sleep trained and regretted it. Yes it bought us sleep, but only temporarily until the next regression and then completely stopped working. Lots of parents dont tell you that. Maybe we could have done something harsher like CIO but personally I don't think it teaches all babies how to sleep, it just teaches them no one is coming until they collapse out of exhaustion. What we are doing now is working on in-cot settling gradually so we dont have to pick up and rock. And trying to put him down drowsy and then shush and pat to sleep which so far is being tolerated but if your baby is screaming from this then just ride it out and provide comfort and this phase wont last forever x
