4 month sleep regression! Help 😱

[Factorturtle]

So my LG is 3.5mo. I’m pretty sure she’s hit the 4 month sleep regression. She’s gone from sleeping through from about 8/8:30-6/7 to waking 2/3 times a night.

So she would occasionally wake for a bottle then bk down. Now she waking around 12/1am and 3/4am then sometimes around 5am. She is also extremely fidgety in her sleep in between she will lift her legs up in the air and kick out make noises etc.

We have tried resettling however she is definitely hungry and will guzzle 6oz at each waking. She doesn’t polish this off in the day which I find odd she’s usually 5oz max every 3-4hrs.

She’s also dropped from 4-5 naps a day to only having 3 literally overnight.

Does this sound like the 4mo sleep regression? All I’ve heard is horror stories about babies no coming through this even at 7-8 months. I’m hoping for some reassurance that it will hopefully end?

It most probably is the four month sleep regression,.

Mine had been sleeping six hour stretches since he was just two weeks old, then at four months he started waking every two hours or so at night. Now he’s 6.5 months and his four month sleep regression is still not over.

That is not reassuring Petrov! We’re 3 months and used to be getting reasonable stretches and now he’s waking after 3hours and then every 1 or 2 and seems to be hungry every time too. Difficult to tell if he’s eating less in the daytime as we’re breastfeeding but I am trying to make sure he gets full feeds! I really hope this ends as I am already a wreck after less than a week… fingers crossed this too shall pass!

My baby’s 4 month sleep regression went on til he was well into 8 months

I really recommend lucy Wolfe’s book ‘the baby sleep solution’, it helped us loads. My baby now mostly sleeps through, sometimes with one waking.
