Is this what sleep regression looks like? Four months

Good morning

I've had a bit of a journey with DD and sleep. We had nothing for eight weeks, then saw osteopath and settled into ten to three and four to eight.

She then dropped her night feed at sixteen weeks and did a week of ten to eight.

Since week eighteen she has woke me and her every twenty to thirty minutes thumping her legs and shaking her head. I am using a dummy at night and again she is spitting this out. Generally as soon as I put it back in and shhhhh her she goes down again but we do this all night. Nearing end of two weeks of it now.

Just wondered if this leg kicking is her trying to tell me something or if it is her being unable to settle? Any thoughts welcome. Thank you. Thanks

Mine is fourteen weeks and has been doing the leg kicking loads for the last couple of weeks. I’m not sure why he does it but I’ve started only sshing him/picking him up if he starts to cry. If he’s not hungry he will usually just kick for a bit then go back to sleep on his own. I just need to learn to sleep through the thumping now!

It's so loud eh!!! Thank you. Yes she's not hungry either I forgot to say that. I tried reintroducing night feed and she wasn't interested at all. Wee monkey. She's in a next to me and it crashes about as she kicks. Shock

My 15 week old DD is doing the thumping too!!! She thrashes around so much and makes so much noise! She was until recently sleeping 9-4 but she’s now waking up every couple of hours with the leg thumping and thrashing! You are not alone!

She also being extremely grumpy during the day the last week or so and I’ve been struggling to get her to nap during the day at all. Having a particularly bad day today. I’m hoping it’s just a growth spurt. Anyone else’s babies done this too?

Relieved I'm not the only one with a little thumper. What a noise it makes. Hopefully just a phase, although DH is a really bad sleeper so praying she's more like me!!

Oh God, I've just remembered the leg thumping! I spent so long googling it!
