4 month sleep regression
How are we actually surviving and what do we even do?!! I’m at my wits end of a week of frequent wake ups, false starts, being dead asleep and then being put down and waking and starting the cycle all over again!! Since two weeks old she’s slept with only one wake up at 5am so I am DONE IN!! Do we just ride this out of what the hell do we actually do to solve this? It’s HELL

I write this to you having been up since a 2:20am night feed and only just getting baby back to sleep now! It is fresh hell and I am filled with dread every night 🤣
We’re going through it too, been almost 2 weeks of waking every 45 mins-2.5 hours! Exhausted 😅
I think we’re going through it too lovely and it’s hard. I feel you. They don’t know how to link the sleep cycles, so the regression is based on how they process sleep and changes from newborn sleep to more sleep cycles.
Despite the challenges you’re having, you should be helping your little one to fall asleep independently so white noise/sleeping bag/pacifier/dwrk room if they take one and into their cot awake and you choosing a self settling method to help sooth them. Try and have them nap in their cot though for most of their naps if you can.
Watch their wake windows and make sure baby is doing down at the right time otherwise if they’re under or overtired it can affect their sleep. Make sure you’ve got a consistent nap and bedtime routines. Hopefully they will just outgrow it; fingers crossed!! Xx
