Hello 4 month sleep regression and also eating strike! My lo is only 3.5 months and he is already started all the signs of this dreaded phase. He was sleeping through the night and taking great naps and now its up every 3 hours or so at night, 30 min max naps twice a day and not hardly eating at all... How do you cope? Any advice or suggestions? Or a good ole "it will get better"? lol!

    DD's 4 month wakeful combined with colds/ear infections, so it was super awesome, and basically we just had to wait it out - about the only way I could get her to sleep in longer than 30 minute increments was to hold her, so I did. Not big on bed-sharing, but I spent more than a few nights propped up in the glider with her in my arms.

    With not eating, is he distracted/not eating because he wants to watch everything around him? DD was that way, and I just started taking her into her room or our room with no tv, no lights, no mommy talking to daddy about what's for dinner, etc. She still gets distracted by...whatever - the light fixture, a blanket, whatever, but if she actually is hungry, this helps get her to settle in and eat well, not just nibble.

    I dont know what to tell you but we are going through this too. LO is a bad napper in general since about 5 weeks, but he was STTN so it wasnt a big deal. Now he isnt napping ans is up every 2-4 hours.
