Currently going through what I believe could be a four month sleep regression? For ages my son slept really well didn't wake up in the night and if he did it was for one bottle then slept. Most nights slept 9:30pm till about 8am next day.
Has alllllllllll gone out the window the past week 🤣 I always knew the good sleep wouldn't last long and I appreciated it when it did but it's kinda making me feel extremely tired now including my partner🥱
How long does it last?? Will it go on for months?? Will I ever have a 8-8 again? 😥😥🤣
The strange thing is if he wakes up. As soon as I place him onto my bed and pillow he sleeps. So if it was a sleep regression surely he would wake also in my bed?

@LCF2021 glad it’s not just me - it’s always worrying when they are really screaming and won’t stop isn’t it. Ohh that’s so funny! Bless him.

So last night was a good night! After waking up after 18 mins and then again after an hour, he then slept 4hrs, followed by 2.5hrs and then a final hour until 7am. That’s the best night we’ve had in almost a month. Am playing music all night, and changed his white light night light to a red light. Really hope this continues!

@Sneezymcsneezy we are four nights into DS being in his own room so far, and tbh it’s a relief really and seems to be going ok so far! X

@Sneezymcsneezy he still seemed to do it in the next to me, so not sure what it’s all about! Me going in to him, or picking him up makes no difference. Think possibly it’s just because he wants to be asleep and gets frustrated that he can’t settle himself back down 😭

Thanks @pinkgin1

I hate to say this as I know the BF/FF debate is fraught enough but I use formula most of the time now and only top up with BM and it has coincided with her sleep improving. However she is 5 months now and the regression did go on for almost 2 months so it's possible the milk has nothing to do with it and it would have improved anyway.
