4 month sleep regression

    Has anyone tried a non-cry it out method and worked? 

    My my baby is starting to wake up once every 1-2 hours at night and I'm at my wits end.

    @marwaaiad It's not really a sleep training method, but I bought a Merlin's Magic Sleep Suit. It's ridiculous/hilarious looking and $40, but LO has slept much better since I got it. He was waking up crying almost every hour, and now he's only waking up 2-3 times a night. I've also been giving him a little gripe water whenever he wakes up now along with his paci. We're getting 3-5 hour stretches of sleep instead of 1-2 hours. I ordered some nighttime gripe water that should be delivered today so I'm hoping that will help, too. Good luck!

    Thank you for the suggestions. I tried the gripe water yesterday and she slept for a good 4 hour stretch. I think I might get the nighttime one too to soothe her even more.

    @marwaaiad Glad the regular gripe water helped a little! We just tried the nighttime version for the first time last night (Sunday), too, because DH accidentally ordered regular.. Oops. LO slept a little over 8 hours straight with the nighttime stuff though!

    @marwaaiad @g&tlewis what is it about the gripe water that helps them sleep?

    We did regular Gripe Water for a short time when LO was a few weeks old and I would have swore it kept her awake so we stopped.

    @runningwild The nighttime gripe water has chamomile in it. My LO also seems to be pretty gassy so I can hear the gas breaking up in his little belly after I give him a dose. I usually only give him 2-3 ml even though he can have 5 ml at a time.
