My ebf 4 month old used to go down about 7.30, get a feed at 10pm and sleep till 3/4 before waking for a night feed, then sleep again till 7ish. The last two weeks she’s been going down at the same time, feeding at 10, but waking up every 2 hours or so for food until 5am. She still sleeps till 7, hardly takes anything in the morning until 9.30/10 am.
No idea how to get back to a better routine!

4 month sleep regression! It’s awful but soooo normal. It’s where they are starting to switch to more ‘adult’ sleep patterns so start waking between sleep cycles.

Dd took about 6 weeks to settle into better sleep I think.

Yeah unfortunately they all do this.

How is she falling asleep? If feeding to sleep, try to transition to pat shush instead, then gradually get her to fall asleep on her own. That should help.

It’s completely normal. Baby/children sleep isn’t linear. Enjoy the good times and know the more difficult times will pass.
