Babies: 0 - 3 Months

4 months and now wont STTN

UGH.  This is the second night in a row that my DD has woken up at 3:25 and is wide awake.  She doesnt seem to be teething.  She has been going to bed at her regular bed time...maybe it just needs to be pushed back again?

Basically she gets up, we change her, she drinks a 4 oz bottle and plays for about 2 hours and then falls back to sleep.

Any suggestions would be great.

TIA

  • Jack Daniels?  Stick out tongue  I know what you mean - my 3 year old was like that and still doesn't sleep well.  Hopefully, she will get back on schedule...

  • DS just finished 11 days of that. They call it "The 4 month wakeful" or something. I thought I was going to lose my mind. He just wanted to sit there and play or eat and all I wanted to do was sleep. Just two days ago, he started sleeping for 9 hours again, though. There is hope!

  • Yep it sounds like the 4 month wakeful period it should stop in a couple days to a week.
  • It sounds like the 4 month wakeful.  It has hit in our house.  DD used to sleep until 6 or 7 AM.  Now, she gets up at 3 or 4 AM and half the time won't go back to sleep.  Just when we think it's over, bam, she does it again. 
  • Oh my I just wrote something about this....I guess this is what is happening to my 4 month old. It has been going on for about 2 weeks or so...I hope it ends soon!
