Losing my mind with 4 month sleep regression

I genuinely can’t cope. I’ve started shouting and crying tonight.

How does anyone cope with this?

She won’t sleep.

She cries constantly if she’s not in my arms. Constantly. Straight from 0 to 11. I had to carry her tonight in my arms for 15 minutes while pushing the f*cking arsehole pram because otherwise she screams. I put her down for a second to open the front door and she went into a full scale rage.

She’s complaining at the breast. There’s lots of milk. She won’t take it. She gobbles a bottle. No amount of rocking helps. I’ve tried shush-pat. It has no effect.

I’m not enjoying this. I know I should enjoy my baby but this is hideous. I can’t wait to go back to work. I actually can’t hear myself think.

Someone said sleep regression never gets better, please tell me that’s not true? If it is I’m selling her on eBay. Buyer Beware. ~(Mostly joking)~

It can be so horrific. Mine was awake every 20 minutes every single fucking night until 6 months. I was almost a broken woman.

She's now 15 months, naps 2.5 hours a day and sleeps 11.5 a night.

It may be hell for a while... but it WILL end. We did gentle sleep training around 6.5 months and made all the difference. Keep going. You'll get there!
