Four month old big baby waking all the time

[Chester1980]

My four month old son is constantly waking at night and I’m struggling with the lack of sleep. Last night it was nearly every hour. He’s a big baby, 97th centile for length...his weight was too, but that’s now gone down to 90. That’s what’s making me think it might be hunger rather than just sleep regression.

He’s purely breastfed. Really trying to get him to take a bottle, but he won’t. He doesn’t take a dummy either.

Any other parents with big babies in a similar boat? Help!!

Yep, my baby (also 4 months) is awake basically all night at this point. She's very big as well and seems hungry at some of her wake ups but definitely not all. I feel your pain.

It's probably burning to with size and everything to do with the 4 month regression. Ride it out, until you hit the next one at six months...

Similar here. 4 and half month old waking up loads in the night. And that's with co sleeping too! He used to wake 1-2 times a night but ever since he turned 4 months his sleep has been pretty bad. Some days he wakes up every hr, other days he does 2-3hr stretches.
He is also EBF, won't take a dummy or a bottle. He is also a large baby.

I'm sorry no advise here! I'm just trying to ride it out. After the particularly bad nights I just don't leave the house and nap when my baby naps. After the better nights I try to go to a baby group to get out of the house.
