2) it's still going strong and he's approaching 5 months in a week.
3) it affected mostly nighttime wake ups since lo has never been a great napper
4) before the regression, he was waking up once nightly, now it's every 1-2 hours.
5) lo sleeps in the pnp by our bed until about 2-3am when I take him into bed with us.
6) it's ugly
2. 4 weeks later and we're still going...
3. Mostly nighttime, but naps have never been that good
5. Before the regression, LO was sleeping 5-6 hour stretches, now he's up every 2 hours.
6. LO sleeps in his crib with a swaddle sleep sack.
7. It's bad, my always happy baby has been a fussy mess since this started.
2. At 19 weeks we are still going through it.
3. Night and naps.
4. Before for naps she would go down pretty consistently after being awake for hour and a half. Now I am lucky if I get two 45 minute naps during the day. At night she was sleeping 8 hours. Now sometimes it is every three hours. It seems the earlier she goes to bed the more she wakes up at night. If she goes down between 11-12 she will sleep six hours straight. I always try to put her down to bed between 7-8, but she always seems to have to poop at that time. If she poops she usually doesn't go to bed until around 10 or 11.
5. She sleeps swaddled in pnp in my bedroom
6. Exhausting and frustrating!

Woah.
2. Still going strong at 4.5 months
3. Only affects night for us but she's always been not the best napper
4. Before she was sleeping 6-9 hours for the first stretch then 3 more; now she sleeps 45 min-3 hr stretches
5. Sometimes it's the crib, sometimes the rnp when she won't do the crib and sometimes in bed for the last stretch on weekends...naps are in the swing, car seat ergo or my arms
6. It looks like hell
2) How long did it last? Her sleep still hasn't gone completely back to the way it was (5 months tomorrow) but the wost of it (up every hour-hour and a half) was less than a week.
3) did it effect day and night? Mostly night, she's never been a great daytime napper.
4) How did lo sleep before/after regression? She slept amazingly. From 7 or 8 weeks until the regression she slept 9 pm - 6 am and then back to sleep till 8.
5) where does lo sleep? In her PNP in our room.
6) what did it look like for you? Like going from a happy, sunny day at the beach to a terrifying hurricane. (STTN to wake-ups every 2 hours or less)
1) How old was lo when sr started?
hard to say... we got back from a vacation early December and he was adjusting from that for a while and it lead right into the regression. I would say he was a week or so shy of 3 months.
2) How long did it last?
Its still going strong...
3) did it effect day and night? Mostly nights.
LO has never been a great napper. Though now its a huge fight to get him to nap. Hes clearly tired and seriously fights it and gets really cranky.
4) How did lo sleep before/after regression?
I got about a 5-6 hour stretch and then two 2-3 hour stretches.
5) where does lo sleep? In his bassinet until about 7 am when he comes to bed with me. Though tonight the crib is being moved into my room and we begin that battle of moving him into the crib.
6) what did it look like for you
Hes up most nights every 2 hours. Sometimes more... I had a few nights early this week when he gave me a 4 hour stretch and I thought maybe it was getting better but the last 2 nights I was up about 5 times. I also tried not feeding him last night on his first wakeup and tried rocking him back to sleep but he wouldn't have it.
Im exhausted and im beginning to think this will never get better. Ive had a couple meltdowns this week.

Ive seriously started to think of giving him a bottle of formula before bed to see if this will help. I plan to start weaning him in march anyways. I really didn't want to introduce formula yet but im desperate to try it to see if it does help. I did start him on cereal but it hasn't helped at all.
I totally understand what you're going through.

16 weeks
2) How long did it last?
About 2-2.5 weeks
3) did it effect day and night? Just night
4) How did lo sleep before/after regression?
5-8 hour stretches for first stretch then at least a 3-4 for second stretch. Now she's doing 3-5 hours and very unpredictable.
5) where does lo sleep? Crib in her room
6) what did it look like for you? WakIng every 1-2 hours all night. Hard to get back to sleep, didn't want to be put down at all.

2) How long did it last? we are only three days into it, so I can't say.
3) did it effect day and night? so far, yes
4) How did lo sleep before/after regression? she was previously sleeping 2000-0100, 0115-0630, 0635-0900, 1200-1300, and 1600-1700, and sometimes shorter naps would be sprinkled in there during the day.
5) where does lo sleep? in our bed, or in the stroller/carseat if we are in transit
6) what did it look like for you? She's still pretty happy, she just doesn't seem interested in sleeping. She was up from 0130-0500 last night wanting to nurse, chat, and eat her toes. She is also VERY distracted while nursing during the day.
We started giving him a teaspoon of cereal before the nighttime feed and since we started he's been sleeping much better. Last night he gave me a 4hr, 3hr then 2hr stretch. I don't know if it's just coincidental or not though because one night we didn't give him anything besides breast milk and he did that fabulous 4hr stretch too. He's 5 months in Thursday and holding his head and nearly sitting unassisted.
2) How long did it last? The worst of it lasted about a month but he's still not sleeping like he was before.
3) did it effect day and night? Yes, his naps sucked and he was up a lot at night.
4) How did lo sleep before/after regression? Before we were getting 9-11 straight hours at night and 2 hour naps. After we are getting around 6-7 straight hours and are lucky to get 1 hour naps out of him most days. He does nap better at daycare, though.
5) where does lo sleep? In his crib in his room. He's been there since 11 weeks old.
2) How long did it last? we're still going through it 6 weeks later, but it's getting better
3) did it effect day and night? mostly just night, but her naps have been a little shorter
4) How did lo sleep before/after regression? Before, we were starting to see some 7 hour stretches. Now, we get 3 hour stretches.
5) where does lo sleep? a combination of her RnP and crib, depending if she's sick or has bad reflux that evening
6) what did it look like for you? kind of ugly. we were all very grumpy and today is the first day I actually feel rested in a long time. I'm not even sure why I feel good today..
