4 month sleep regression at 12 weeks?
Anyone else experiencing a sleep regression early? Is it the ‘4 month regression’ just coming around a bit earlier? My boy is 12 weeks now and consistently for a couple of weeks has been sleeping anytime from 8:30/9:30pm until 5/6am, waking to have 3-4oz of milk (around half what he has in the day) and then going back to sleep until at least 8am. The last two nights he has woken twice in the night and in-between wakes has all of a sudden become incredibly loud and fidgety in his sleep again. Tonight he fell asleep around 9:15pm, woke up around 1:30am, the dummy wasn’t cutting it and he was wide awake so I picked him up and he went off within 10 mins. He woke again at 4:30am, again dummy didn’t cut it but I knew he’d be hungry and was a bit more fussy this time round so he has just taken 3oz and fallen back asleep.
Im also slowly trying to creep his bedtime forwards so I wonder if this has anything to do with it whilst he adjusts. I know his circadian rhythm is still developing and he probably still has the startle reflex so this may be way for the time being as everyday is a little more predictable but still not exactly the same and we may be regressing a tad early. Sod’s Law just as I was getting back a good 7 hour stretch of sleep as he was being so peaceful, calm and quiet and didn’t move a muscle until he woke😂😂
