4 month sleep regression/ 4th leap

[beckypic]

My partner and I are absolutely losing our minds.

Our son has gone from waking once or twice a night. Bed around 8, wake around 2 for a feed and 7. Since his 4 month regression he's waking every 2 hours.

I have been coping ok with this but the past 24 hours have been hell. He's just constantly grizzly, moaning or crying. He wakes allllll the time and I'm losing my mind.

Any tips that will get him back to his old sleeping pattern?

For anyone that follows the wonder weeks it says he has 9 days left of this leap?🙏🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

P.s. crying it out isn't really an option as we leave with me parents, he is generally really good at self soothing but since this regression he just cries.

Tia!! Xx

It's really hard, I have a 15mo and he's gone through these periods of not sleeping too. Is finishing his bottles each time? Maybe you could try giving him another oz of milk? I always find my son sleeps much better with a full tummy.

Sometimes he does drink it all and sometimes he has like 1oz?! I would of thought he was full but still wakes all the time?!

Does he have a dummy? I can't imagine he is hungry every time he wakes? DD is 15 weeks from weeks 8-12 was sleeping through like 10.30pm -7.30am but the last fortnight is waking very frequently during the night, like a 3hr stretch then two hours then hourly then every 20 mins or so after about 4am, it is killing us...but she has a dummy and we can resettle her within about 5 mins with the dummy, we don't feed her as I'm confident she's not hungry (on the rare occasions when she is hungry around the 4am mark she lets us know and doesn't settle with the dummy so obviously would feed her then).
