So sleepy....

Another vent about sleep.  My 15 week old had been sleeping 5-6 hour stretches pretty regularly until about a week ago, now he has starting getting up every 2 hours again.  I know others have talked about this, just wanted to say that I feel your pain.  This is awful!  I am so sick of everyone I know saying how their kids slept through night at 2-3 months. That's great for you, but doesn't help me at all!!  And it's so frustrating worrying about it!  I am constantly thinking, does he have a cold (has been kind of stuffy the last few days) is it his teeth?  Is it growth spurt??  This has to be the 4 month sleep regression that I keep hearing about. If not, I'm not sure how I will get through that!  Parenting is hard!!  Haha!

    Thanks for the encouragement!  Yep, I will be fine with the 1-2 wake ups, but the 4-5 is killer!  I go back to work in the next few weeks and if he's still like this it's going to be extra tough!  Good luck to you too!!

    Yep. I feel ya. I have a crap sleeper. Sometimes we get one 5 hr. Stretch but it begins at 6:30 or 7 so I don't get that much. Then we get 1.5 hr stretches. Unlucky nights we get a bunch of 1-2 hr stretches. Been back to work 5ish weeks now. Somehow we will survive and this phase will pass before you know it!

    I'm tired today too.   My little guy slept for 6+ 3 nights in a row, but the past two nights, he's back to less than 4.  Maybe those 6 hour nights were just a tease leading up to the 3 month growth spurt?   He did seem hungrier and grumpier yesterday.   They sure like to keep us guessing!

    In my new mama class we talked about this and were told to let LO fuss a bit instead of going into get him. They showed us a video of a baby sleeping and how they can look and sound awake but it's really just a sleep cycle. At this age they should be able to self soothe back to sleep since they're not fully awake.
    I should add this is different from the CIO method

    DS has been sleeping 7-9 hours a night for several weeks and was up at 3:30am last night. I hope it was a one time thing.

    We have had it bad off and on for the last 2 weeks. Last night he slept a lot better but I think it's because he has a cold and was completely exhausted.  Yep, now we are dealing with a full fledged cold!  Urggg!!  He was coughing throughout the night but not waking up.  Of course the one time I could have got a decent amount of rest, I couldn't because I was so worried about the coughing!! All day I have monitored his temperature, luckily it has only been a little higher than normal.  He doesn't seem too bothered by it, but the cough sounds horrible.  I will say it again, parenting is hard!!  : )  Good luck ladies!
