My DS is 16 weeks old and up til recently been a good little sleeper. He had a growth spurt at about 13 weeks and sleep has gone steadily downhill since then, he was waking once a night at 12 weeks old(luxury I know!), last night it was every 1-1.5hours which is excruciating.
From what I understood the 4 month sleep regression was a lot to do with lack of feeding during the day and needing to catch up at night but this doesn't seem to be the case. He is EBF and feeds really well during the day, when he wakes at night he is shouting and will not settle for anything other than boob, then he only comfort sucks hardly any swallowing for 10 mins or so then drops off only to wake again in another hour.
Is this the infamous sleep regression at this time or a depedence on feeding to sleep (we feed to sleep for bedtimes and naps and it can take ages)? Do I wait and go with it or do I need to work on self settling and how the hell do I do that???
