Sleep regression

Missus123

I have not posted on here for a while but I have been keeping up with reading posts and all the new mommies. My baby (almost 4 months now!) has been sleeping like a champ at night - usually averaging 10 hours. We usually start putting her down around 8:30 and by 9pm she is out like a light in her crib for the night. The other day, though, she woke up and would not go back to sleep in her crib. We tried everything but nothing worked for three hours until about midnight. She then slept for 8 hours. This happened again last night but she only slept 6 hours. We have not started anything new or broken her routine. I just do not know why she has stopped going to sleep and sleeping so well. It takes all our after-work time to get her to sleep and then we are exhausted ourselves. Any suggestions as to why she would change or what to do - I am desperate!

 Yup! This is a normal and a big period of development for them. But all of these fun milestones comes with the price of their sleep being affected at night. It'll pass, but probably not right away.  And probably in time for teething fun to begin!
