sleep regression?- please make me feel better

[FishandChippies]

My 15 nearly 16 week old used to be so good at sleeping - if babies that young can be classed as good! But from about 7 weeks- 12 weeks she would have a big feed at 7-8 and then sleep until 2/3/4 time be up to feed and then back down. The odd night would be different/disturbed but that was generally what she did. Last week or so it’s started changing and she’s been awake much more in the night. Last 2/3 days have been rubbish!! She has woken after about an hour or 2 down, but I’ve managed to resettle her with a dummy. Then she’s up at 2 for a feed and then after that she just does not go down for any longer than 45/60 mins, I don’t feed her every time she’s awake and can sometimes re settle by holding a hand on a chest and a dummy but again only for a short sleep time. She kicks and fidgets the whole time.
She’s in a leap 4 (if people follow wonder weeks) but I wondered if it’s the sleep regression too or both. She naps ok in the day usually long morning nap then either 3 short ones or a longish one and a short one, she still feeds for a long time 7-8 before going down.

I think my 2 year old was effected by the regression but not as bad- but then I can’t remember if I’m honest! Has anyone been through similar- and can give me some tips or hope, I like to think because she’s done those long stretches she will again, but I can’t see it happening right now
Thank you

My little boy is currently 18 weeks old! I’ve been following his wonder weeks and for the past 3 weeks his bed time has been off! Bed time is usually 7pm he would usually be put in his cot and sleep until like yours 2/3 or 4 but recently he’s been waking up at around 10pm and won’t go back in his cot which means he’s in bed with us all night which isn’t ideal! I’m totally worrying that now he thinks this is is routine. I haven’t any advice I’m just hoping it will pass.

It’s exhausting isn’t it? I don’t remember my first regressing this bad (but maybe I blocked it out 😂) my little one is much better in the bed with us too! Good luck I hope it passes soon x

I am currently in the same position with my nearly 16 week old. He used to wake once in the night for a feed but I'm currently on feed no. 3 - he fed at 7.30pm and went down to sleep, then fed at 12, 2.30, and now, 5.15. I'm knackered! What am I doing wrong?!

I think from what I’ve seen it’s very common. I guess it’s a case of riding it out and hoping it improves

Anyone’s baby improved? I thought we were but she was awful last night. Just wants to be held or on us asleep, I think the longest stretch I got last night was 2 hours and that’s when I wasn’t asleep 😩 it’s starting to really get to me now

Nope not improved - just the same 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m currently sat in our bed room with him resettling him for the 3rd time since 7:00pm 😬 he won’t stay in his crib and is still ending up ok our bed most the night! Does anyone know when he will end/ get better

We're well into week 2 and I feel like he's got slightly better? Introducing a dream feed didn't work for the first two nights but worked last night as he only woke at 2.30 and then 5.45. Much better than it has been. I can't rouse him for the dream feed tonight tho so will be interesting to see what he does.
I'll let you know!

So, I fed him at midnight as I couldn't rouse him for a dream feed. Fed at midnight, and he slept til 5.30am! Best it's been in ages. The only difference is that he's wearing an amber bracelet for teething round his ankle. Could be worth a try for you? It's night 2 of anklet, night one was ok but tonight's been brilliant as he's been settled in between wakes.

Hmm thank you, I may have to try, little one is all over the place still, some nights slightly longer stretches but Always seems to have a problem later in the night to stay asleep. And always wakes within an hour of being put down! I’m so tired! So glad it’s improving for you :) x

Back to the drawing board... terrible night so far! 😖

So he’s 20 weeks and out of the wonder week according to the app.. we’ve played about with sleeping situations. Can’t put him down in his crib till I come to bed now so he sleeps on me downstairs.. we introduced side down on the next to me which he’s been in the past 3 nights - not coming in to our bed until about half 4/5.. still waking up multiple times usually 12/2:30/4:30 but now I’m finding it hard to get back to sleep 🤦🏼‍♀️ I feel like I’m so tired I can’t sleep. We’ve been downstairs tonight he fell asleep at 7pm woke up at half 8 and he’s only just gone back to sleep at 21:45 in our bed. I’ve got such a bad back from the way we have to sleep as he likes to be in my arm pit. His started with more frequent wakings but still okay when we first put him down but now it’s just effected his whole entire night sleep.
