Last week DS had his 16 week jabs and this seems to have coincided with the dreaded 4 month sleep regression. We have gone from pretty reliably sleeping through the night (or only sometimes needing a 3am feed) to waking up every hour between midnight and 6am :( :( we are also going on holiday next week for 12 nights and have spent quite a lot of money on the trip and I’m now a bit concerned we are going to be too exhausted to really enjoy it.
Is there anything we can do or do we just need to wait it out? Is he too young to sleep train - not sure how this will even work necessarily as we will be in the same room? Previously when sleep has been tricky my husband and I have done shifts overnight and slept in separate rooms, but this won’t be possible on holiday.
DS doesn’t seem to be hungry when he wakes (I try and give him as many calories as I can during the day) but he just needs comfort and just seems to be very restless and sleeping lightly when he does doze off. He also wakes from wind and his dummy falling out, but I think he is just trapped in very light sleep cycles.
any advice for a FTM would be much appreciated! I spoke to my friend who said it lasted 3 months for her LO which has got me scared!
