4 month sleep regression?

Kari234

Hi all! So my 4 month old daughter just went from 4 naps to 3 last week. She finally stopped with the 35-45 min cat naps and would do 2 hours or so for the first two and a short afternoon nap. It was perfect, and obviously too good to be true. She basically did that for 4 days, and then now I've had 3 days where she's reverted to cat naps (4 of them). Also, her sleep last night was tons worse than normal. Do you think this is sleep regression? Any tips. It was going so amazingly well and now it's like we rewound a few weeks

The sleep regression is common, much worse for some than others. Our DS went from STTN to waking up once or twice (one really rough night where he was up every two hours), but was back to normal after a couple weeks.he has never been a great napper... We usually get two naps per day that last 30-45 min, but occasionally we'll get an awesome 90 minute nap. Just go with the flow. Be sure LO is getting plenty to eat during the day (if you are nursing you may want to try to do itin a quiet, dark room with minimal distractions if you find LO is getting distracted during feedings.) other than that, there's it much else you can do except sleep training... We are not ready for CIO, don't kowif we ever will be. Occasionally I resort to letting DS nap in my arms if he is having a really rough day sleep-wise and I know he is cranky and NEEDS some sleep.

Ours lasted about a month and is finally starting to go back to normal! She was getting up only once around 3 or 4 to nurse and would go right back to sleep. Then she started waking up 3 times a night, it was killing me! the last couple nights she is back to only waking once, somewhere between 1-4 am. Praying she will start to sleep the whole night soon!

We are just 20 weeks and about every other week lately she's not sleeping great at night. I only get up 1x a night some weeks, others I'm getting up 3-4x!

Very tough this week as I'm working 3 days at my former job instead of being home and able to take a nap!

Let's hope these times don't stick around long!!

Ours has been going on for a mo.th, but she has a cold now so that may be contributing to the lack of sleep she gets. Hoping she will go back her other sleep schedule once she gets better.
