Hey,
I am currently in the middle of the 4 month sleep regression (two and a bit weeks, let’s hope it ends soon!) I was wondering if anyone has some advice on how I can help my baby nap. I try all the usual methods (dark room/white noise) but, if he does nap it only for about 10 minutes, except in the afternoon where he will nap on me until I finally need to pee (about an hour) and he inevitably wakes up if I even attempt to put him down.
My other, related problem is that he doesn’t ever seem to be comforted by anything other than nursing. If I rock him, give him a dummy or sing to him he just cries until I nurse him. Now that he is waking every hour at night, I do t want him to expect more frequent night time feedings once the regression is over. It’s also annoying because it’s hard for my husband to settle him. Any advice (or just experiences that show us that there is a light at the end of the regression tunnel) would be nice
