Sleep regression question

MBush4MBush4 member

A few weeks back following his 4 month (4.5 month in his case) vaccines LO went through about a week where he woke up every night at around 4-5. We'd feed him (I EP) and he'd go back to bed. The past two weeks he's been STTN like usual without any problems. But then starting Sunday night he's been waking up multiple times a night. I bring him into bed because that tends to calm him down, but now it doesn't work after that first wake up time. He'll wake up and I'll give him his bottle until he falls asleep after which I try to get some shut eye too since I have to wake up at 5:30 in order to be at work on time. Could this be sleep regression again? Anyone else go through something like this with their LOs? Any tips? I am honestly at a loss of what to do.

    I agree with PP.

    It could also be a growth spurt or be related to development. Sometimes babies are more wakeful at night when they are about to hit a milestone. Maybe he is going to roll over better, sit up unassisted, or be able to pass toys back and forth between his hands soon. :D

    At his age, it could also be teeth! If all it takes is a bottle and snuggles to get him back to sleep, I wouldn't worry too much. Babies do this, and as soon as you think they'll sleep long stretches forever, it changes again! Luckily, they do grow into children who are work to get out if bed every day, so this doesn't last.

    My DS does this every time he begins to teethe or hit a milestone...we're currently doing both right now so it's been brutal. It usually lasts a few weeks and things go back to normal...until the next time that is. Hang in there. It'll get better!
    Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
    Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
    March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
    Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

    Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

    First, LOVE the name Atticus. 

    Second, this will pass.  My son would wake up in the middle of the night and want to party.  I'd just lay in bed with him and let him babble and try to find the humor in the situation. On the weekends, I committed to taking a nap every time he took one.  Since we cosleep, this often turned into three hour naps together!  It was glorious and got me through the regression.
