4 month sleep regression - question

I know lot of people are going through this or have gone through it. My question is do they come out of this stage on their own?
I have read up about it and how their sleep patterns are changing, etc. But I am not clear if you need to train/teach them to sleep (for more than an hour at a time) again or if they naturally just work it out and will go back to sleeping for longer stretches when this stage is over?
Hope that question makes sense, my brain is not working on 2 weeks now of being up every hour or so.

Re: 4 month sleep regression - question
Now he has regressed to not sleeping for more than 1 hour at a time even in the early night. Fussing like crazy when I put him back in his RnP, and being AWAKE (like wanting to get up for the day) between 4am and 5am.
Does this sound like the 4 month sleep regression? he will not be 4 months until next week and this started about two weeks ago.
I got up last night to pee when he was really gaining steam from fussing to crying, and by the time I came back he had fallen asleep... of course he then woke up again 10 minutes later, but it was nice while it lasted.
I expect him to wake up to eat, I was perfectly happy with his old schedule of eating 3 times at night. Waking up every hour just because... not so much!
We transitioned him to his crib 1 week ago. Now he goes goes to sleep between 7-8 and is up for feedings at 12, 2, 4, and finally up at 7 for the day. It's so frustrating getting up every so often but I know that this, too, shall pass. Just remember that when you're up at the wee hours of the night/morning, there are probably a million other people doing the same exact thing. You aren't alone! Hang in there.
arschm02 Im sure most of the empathetic, understanding mothers in this forum can understand that you are doing what's best for you and your baby which may not necessarily be everyone's path, but no one else's position to judge. interesting that these forums are supposed to be about helping one another and still you get negative comments from people. As mothers we cop a lot of criticism from other mothers which is so frustrating, these mothers should show compassion as they would expect from each of us. we are all doing a wonderful job, whatever path we take to help our child is our own and each has it's merits.
