What is going on?!?!

My DD is just about 14 weeks. Up until about a week ago she was an amazing sleeper and her formula intake had finally increased to about 26 to 27 oz a day! Everything was awesome! 

Over the last week she has been waking a lot in the night, eating more often but less per feeding... like only 2-3oz at a time but like 12 times a day/night!

Is this a growth spurt? (Which I know will only last a few days), Wonder week? (She has been almost rolling, started laughing out loud, discovered she had feet)

Or my biggest fear, sleep regression?!

How do I know which is which and how should I tackle her getting up every 2 hours? Should I just ride this out? OMG I am so tired! Any advice on getting her back to her happy sleep pattern would be so helpful!

Sounds like 4 month wakeful period... see previous posts for info.  Ride it out, sister, ride it out!

We've been going through the same thing! Last night was back to normal though, and naps have been back to normal today, so I'm HOPING it's over!

If it is over, then it lasted 2 weeks for us. And it has been miserable! We've all been exhausted.

Who knows what it is...I've heard growth spurt, sleep regression, wonder week, 4 month wakefulness...all I know is that it sucks! I even called the pediatrician yesterday because I was starting to get worried. They didn't seem too worried though.

Good luck!

Oh great! Haha

Thanks ladies! I decided to make cupcakes for myself so I have something to look forward to when I wake up...all those times. I will go back to my diet when little Baby P goes back to STTN!!!

This. Hang in there!

We're going through it too. I haven't been this tired since DS was first born. Hopefully it gets better soon.
