Babies: 3 - 6 Months

XP - Help! Bedtime troubles

I am truly at a loss. My DD is 16 weeks old and bedtime has become a nightmare.  She started going down very easily and STTN at about 8-9 weeks.  Then around 13 weeks she started regressing. It has been almost a month of fighting to get her down and 2-4 wake ups during the night. We have had the same bedtime routine since she was 3 weeks. We've tried different bedtimes and its the same thing. I don't know what else to do. We started bedtime over 2 hours ago and my DH is currently trying to quiet her down again. Any advice is truly welcome!

    Can the 4 month wakeful start at 3 months and last a month? 

  • EXACT same thing happened to me. I think it started a little before 4 months, and now at 5 1/2 months it is still going on, though less. I don't have any advice for you except that it is a normal thing that happens to a lot of babies.

    Yes.
  • Started for us at three and a half months - after STTN consistently, DS started fighting bedtime and waking two to three times at night. He has finally had a long stretch during the night for the past two nights in a row (by long I mean six hours). Now at just over five months, I'm really hoping he goes back to sleeping better.

    Because babies think they're sooo funny.

  • Thanks all!  It's really the fighting to go down that's getting me. I don't mind getting up a couple times throughout the night. I wake up several times anyways. But spending 2 hours or more every night trying to get her down is really wearing on me. DH tries to help, but she only wants me. 

    We do have a sound machine. I don't think she would sleep much at all without it!
