My baby is 4 months on suddenly and a delight, lots of smiles etc.
We've hit what is probably the 4 month sleep regression and she's stopped sleeping through and wakes at 3:30am every night and shuffles until we get up at 7:30am so Im losing sleep which I expected . I found I coped with the lack of sleep a lot better when she was a newborn, I suppose maybe because you get a bit used to the sleep and when it's robbed it's a shock again?
Anyway I've felt quite calm about looking after her since she turned maybe 2 months or so but the past 3 weeks all my confidence has GONE. I used to catch a bus to town and go shopping, feed and changeher out and about and now I get nervous going the local shop in her pram in case she kicks off. She's really whingy all the time, is this normal for 4 month sleep regression? My partner is working a lot and not here to help, and my mum helps as much she can. I've been feeling incredibly low for a few days now and so anxious about having her alone and then it turns to "I miss my old life" sometimes and I haven't had that feeling for a while. Anyone felt the same or just some reassurance, I just have a feeling of hopelessness today :(
