4 month sleep regression? I think I might die!

[Shabeth]

17 weeks today. From week 13 She's gone from sleeping 9 hours with two wakes which I could handle, to waking every hour to hour and a half. I've lost the ability to fall asleep in between feeds because they're so close together.
Any tips before I actually die?
She woke up at 2 after I finally drifted off from the half 12 feed and i cried, my husband patted me on the back asked me what was wrong and fell asleep before I could tell him.

To be fair he's been up for about 20 hours with work.

It's lonely during those periods, but you'll get through it.

No advice I'm afraid, we are in the same hell. This too shall pass...

Living the same hell right now! She went down at 7:30 after much protest then woke at 7:45 (back sleeping in time for bake off, phew) then 9:45 (fed her, usually wouldn't but had planned to start dream feed in the vain hope she may sleep longer) woke again at 12 (resettled) then 2 (fed) then 3:30 (still up feeding again) I'm dead and so tired.... could have written your post she was the same; went from sleeping 7 hour stretches to waking twice to this (cry) I feel your pain. I don't know what to do I'm permanently exhausted and also have a very lively toddler as well (she sleeps thank God for small mercies!)

It will pass! But it might also get worse, the regression lasted for 9 weeks here and was hour and a half wake ups at best, every 20 minutes at worst.

Co sleeping is the best way to deal with it (check guidelines first).

I'm suffering from this too. The sleeping just about got better, now it's become worse. What's the point trying to sleep between feeds.. only makes you feel worse when does it get better??

It's hell on Earth, we had it with DC2 and sorry to say for us it lasted until she was 11m old. Eventually I had to stop BF and that helped, I had to sleep whenever I could to get through it, she didn't nap well in day either. It's awful, just awful

Wow Rosie I think we were following each other exactly including bake off and the dream feed.
Thats literally the only good bit about last night she slept through bake off and I had some friends round so at least I wasn't alone before bed time.
(some pregnant friends who were there to witness screaming bedtime 😂)

It's so much harder trying to sleep between feeds if I'm still awake I don't mind as much. Decided to attempt it around 4 and just lay in the dark which was probably worse but I managed a couple hours from 6 to now.
I have a next to me crib which is helping so much she naturally scoots right to the edge anyway so I just roll over and direct boob towards her.

Giving husband the morning to sleep ill be relieved or duty for a nap and a bath this afternoon 😴

I hope it all ends quickly for us!

Ha! We got the bake off free 😁 my day has not gone well she's screamed when I try to put for naps when she used to settle quite easily. Luckily my mum came and took her and my DD1 out for a bit so i had a sleep. She's started resisting day naps now but I've just settled her for a little power nap but it was tough 😣 I'm DREADING tonight already... hope your night is better

I only got through this by going to bed when the baby did and going off for a nap when dh was home from work.

I'm sorry I don't have better advice , it sucks.

Yeah day naps are out for us now :( we went for a drive today for an afternoon nap she had half an hour. We're teething aswell at the moment so that's not helping!
We're just going bath so I'm going to feed, eat myself and go to bed.

Fingers crossed our nights are filled with sleep!

Snap. Going to feed and get ready for bed. Our naps are cat naps and baby will only nap on me. Can never get anything done, never mind sleep! Hoping tonight is good for us all and we can have a lovely sleep...

You are not alone....we've had this for nearly 6 weeks and there are days when I just lose my temper and have to walk away for five minutes. The irony is my husband gave my last Friday night off so I slept in the spare room.....DS slept from midnight til 6.30 😬😱😡
Anyway last night it was 12.30, 4, 5 and 5.30 I put ds next to me til 7! It's just a killer...when does it end? When will he nap in his own cot without needing rocking? When will he just sleep?!

Hi all, my daughter is 19 weeks and we are suffering too! She started sleeping through at 8 weeks and then suddenly hit 16 weeks and is up every couple of hours. She doesn’t cry she just kicks and chats as if to say ‘I’m awake mummy! Give me attention!’ Takes ages to settle her again. If I ignore her it turns into crying.

I get a couple of hours co-sleeping but I don’t want to get into a habit of that all the time as I feel I can never fully relax!

Mine is 7 months and still waking every couple of hours. I haven’t died yet. Well, only on the inside anyway.

Oh @Papillion86 that'd be the end of me ha I'd make him to another night! Great that he's taken a shift but that's hardly fair 😂

We had another night of it last night. Put her down at 7 and did a dream feed at 9 when we went to bed.
I then spent the night feeding/rocking for an hour, then she'd go down for an hour then there was an hour of rocking and feeding. On repeat until 4am when her nappy leaked 🙄 lucking husband heard my sob when I realised I'd have to get out of bed and did it himself.
Which started screaming and chomping from the teething so we spend 20 minutes wrestling calpol into her...
She woke up at 8 and has been fast asleep on the couch for two and a half hours...
