Hello 4 month sleep regression, now p*ss off

[sphinxster]

I've just spent 2 hours shushing and playing heart beat sound tracks.

She's fallen asleep approximately 874 times and has immediately woken back up.

Reasons she's woken up: the cat jumping in an adjacent room, neighbour using a strimmer, me trying to sneak out of the room, a car door in the road, her own arms moving, the wind blowing the front door, her own legs moving, a butterfly farting in Mongolia...

She's shattered, she's tearful, but she won't go to sleep! We've now missed the nap boat as 18 month old has just woken from his nap and will want to point out her nose and eyes.

@furryelephant Ok - let's try a thread, I'm sure there have been many in the past but there's no doubt a new crop of mums going round the bend. Something like "If your baby (4-7m) needs hours of rocking or feeding to sleep but you don't want to do CC/hardcore sleep training...lets share tips and progress!". Or do you have a snappy title in mind?

My brain is currently a pile of jelly so I'm not able to come up with a snappy title but your one seems just fine grayfig

I made a very unimaginative title last night and no one joined, I was feeling very alone in my battle had a 5-7am wake up (along with her going to bed at 9, waking at 10/11/12.30/2.30....) so was losing the plot

Someone needs to make an over the counter sleeping pill for babies it would be a best seller! 😂

We had a 1.5 hour battle just to get to sleep, he was asleep for about an hour before he woke at 9.30/10/12/3-5/6-7:30.
He is clearly tired as he slept for 2 hours at 7:30 and is napping now and has nearly been asleep for another 2 hours. I'm tempted to wake him though 🤔 Opinions?

furryelephant I'm sure between us we can come up with the perfect sleeping tablet for babies. Of course it would be organic right?

I'd leave him asleep I've found that waking DD up makes her harder to get back down for the next nap, and anything for an easy life goes I think it is true that better day time sleep leads to better night time sleep so maybe tonight will be a bit better! Mine has just had her second 30 minute nap of the day and I haven't been able to put her down long enough without screaming to even brush my teeth yet is it bedtime yet?
