4 Month old bad napper and all of the sudden bad night sleeper

Hello Momma's out there. My 17 week old was sleeping in her crib for around 7-9 hours a night for the past 5 weeks. Then all of the sudden after she turned 4 months she basically gave me the middle finger to sleeping through the night. She's up about 4 or 5 times a night. HELP ME! 

Also, she's never been a good napper during the day unless I hold her. She'll nap for about 30 minutes on her own and then is wide awake. If I hold her she will sleep for 2 -3 hours. How can I help her nap better during the day?

    I have been in the same boat. Last night I tried warming her crib up with a heating pad then removed it and laid her in it and it worked great!!!

    Sounds like the classic 4 month 'sleep regression' unfortunately with my DD we just had to wait it out about a month. She would wake up every hour since she was so aware of the world and would be using that little brain! She has never slept more then 4 hours in a row but we are back to that now. As far as naps she sucks at that too, I have found if she falls asleep on me if I hold her for at least 30-45 minutes and then put her down she will nap about another hour. It's a pain but she needs the naps! Good luck mama, just hang in there!!
