4th sleep regression

First day and night of it. It just started today. My first only lasted about 2 weeks, it was very short lived and wasn't so bad. This baby already sleeps 12-15 hours a night so I am anticipating a very bad regression. I can only hope it's short like my first but most likely it will last the whole 8 weeks. There's no way I am going to get lucky two times in a row.

So far she has had no naps during the day, took me 3 hours to get her to sleep in her crib and she slept in there for about 3 minutes and now it's going on another hour trying to get her to fall asleep again.

Omg help I am there !!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Have you tried getting your baby on a eat/wake/sleep schedule? Sleep regression can be unavoidable but a schedule makes it slightly easier

I bed share with mine and that has been a big help.

Ok so I’ve been dealing with sleep regression for the last 3.5 weeks. My LO was already waking up 2-3 times a night but then it shot up to waking up 6+ times a night. The first week. Sucked. Honestly. There was a lot of crying from both her & i. Especially because she started teething that same week. 😅 for day time, I’ve been wearing her in a carrier a lot. It’s the only thing seeming to settle her enough to sleep so that i Can still get things done. She just wants to be held or else she wakes up. The first few days i was laying her down for a nap and she’d wake up within minutes. Ergo the tears. At night, we co sleep so i will nurse her in the bed in a position to where if i were to fall asleep, there’s no way she could fall off & get hurt. I even got a toddler railing for the side of my bed for extra precaution. I just don’t see that it could be safe to nurse her in a rocking chair and me accidentally fall asleep & her fall on the floor or something. Idk maybe Im weird or paranoid

I’m there with all of you! I’m up almost every hour😩 and it has been going forever😳🤦🏽‍♀️

I'm glad you've found ways to survive, who knew motherhood would be like this?!

Good tips, there thank you. I ending up co-sleeping last night as I could bare to get up again an it thankfully worked. I've got a long body shape pillow, which I keep at the on end of the bed, which it too heavy for my LO to move.

I didnt get a rocking chair for that reason (plus I have no space for it).

My hubby already helps me alot, but with the pandemic we have no support from family or friends, so trying to look after a baby and cook is so difficult. X

I'm one week into sleep regression with my 3 month old daughter. Last night was the worst, up every hour even when co sleeping towards the hours of the morning!

Can anyone tell me if babies will grow out of this? Or is it worth trying the self soothing methods? We have a nightly routine and I'm trying to keep her naps to a minimum during the days. I don't know of i can bare to leave her crying out to self soothe 😞

Oh gosh im at the same point too. Its killing me! How long does this last. My LO used to sleep through :(

Breastfeeding mum life is not for the faint hearted!! 😂😂❤️❤️❤️

How long did the regression last for everyone? We get a good stint first half of the night second half no chance.

I am so glad I'm not alone... I'm ready to jump out the window with my 4.5 month old boy (without him obviously). It's so much harder as well because I've got anxiety /depression and still have to do some work and keep the house together with all our pets. I feel like I'm going insane and doing everything wrong. It's like trying to put a puzzle together but all the pieces look the same...

🙋🏽‍♀️ mine started when he was 11 weeks old, and ironically the weeks before he was sleeping 4-6 hours, and the day before regression he slept 7 hours!

I tried everything and now I've given it to God to help me with this and give me patience and strength and wisdom. God is helping my son grow during this regression.

It helps me to see that we grow during our toughest times, and it's such a beautiful lesson for me.

Currently going through this right now on night 2 just had to walk out of the room for a breather and try and do some research as a first time mum i don’t know what I’m doing it’s just been tears and anxiety for me the last 2.5 hours 😒

Hi there I’m new to this sleep regression. My almost 5 month old has been having sleep regression for last few days bad. It’s almost violent when she tries to push off of me crying. Patience is such a virtue here she eventually falls asleep with pacifier but countless tries when it keeps falling off.

I'm gong through this now. She was never a great sleeper but now she up every hour it feels and sometime more than once in an in the beginning of the night. She's 5 and a half months old. Its been going in for a week.
