4 month regression making me depressed

[August21yellowbaby]

My baby was sleeping well and only waking twice a night for feeds which I was coping well with.
Since last week he is unsettled all night but in his sleep. every time he wakes me with his shuffling and noises it's only half an hour later since he last did it, I put his dummy back in which he will spit out multiple times, try and shush him to settle him, he will have his eyes closed the whole time. If he's about to cry I will take him out and feed him sometimes he will feed sometimes he won't.

I feel like I'm losing my mind, I feel so numb and in the morning I find myself just lying in bed whilst he's just awake in his cot, which I never used to do, I used to get him out straight away and talk to him. I breast feed so nobody can even help me and to be honest I haven't got anyone that would anyway

I feel guilty constantly for being so tired and I try and make sure I do something fun with him once a day whether it's swimming or a baby class etc

I feel like giving up breastfeeding, I keep hearing that forumla babies sleep better

I honestly don't know what to do, and I don't understand what it is that's bothering him at night

Any tips are welcome

Just wanted to say I’m right there with you. My baby is nearly 5 months and this regression has been really kicking our butts. After about 6 weeks of waking every 1-2 hours she has just done 2 nights with a 4 hour stretch, so I’m hopeful things are improving, however naps and bedtime are getting worse and worse and I am struggling not to get frustrated with her.

Not super helpful but just wanted to say I understand the guilt, as sometimes I’m too tired or fed up to properly engage with her, and then I feel really bad.

Solidarity as going through the same. There is a few of us on the sleep regression thread if you fancy joining us
