Anybody still stuck in the 4 mo sleep regression?

My LO used to be pretty scheduled.. Asleep by 9, wake twice, wouldn't be ready to get up until 9 am. Not so much anymore. Down by 10, wakes up four times, then ready by 7am. He's never been much of a daytime napper.

Losing my mind! ;)

  • Yep. It sucks. LO and I are both exhausted.

  • I think we are out of the regression but now teething :( if it's not one thing...

  • My lo is turning 4 months on Sunday and she has good and bad nights. It got really bad before Christmas and it's leveling out but I'm afraid I have more to come. Hang in there.

  • Yep...19 weeks here. Been going on for 3 weeks. One legit wakeup to eat. The rest I'm convinced are because he can roll from back to tummy but not tummy to back. So tired.
  • I think teeth are the culprit for us- it's been over a month now, although some nights are definitely better than others. I could have set a clock by her wakeups before this and now she's all over the place. The 5 am wakeups are the worst! Going back to work on Monday and getting ready is going to be a struggle with that timing :/
  • Yes. DS used to go down at 7-8 and would wake up at 1 and then 6 and would stay asleep until 9 now he goes to bed at 9 and wakes up so much at night and is ready to go for the day at 6-7! I miss sleep.
  • In my own selfish greed I find a little relief knowing other momma's are as zombie'd out as I am. Keep on keepin' on :-)
  • I feel like I have a newborn again too! It started a few nights ago, up every 2 hours to nurse. How long can this last? I'm sooo exhausted. She's 5 months on Friday!
  • I am really hoping it ends soon; I keep thinking he will never go back to normal.

  • I just posted in the inconsolable teether thread. I don't know what the deal is with DS. I didn't know the regression was a real thing so I thought it was teething but I honestly cannot tell the difference. All I know is I am exhausted and don't know if I should start transitioning into crib or keep him next to the bed for my own selfish reasons.

  • I don't think that it can be called a sleep regression for us anymore, I think that up every 2 hours is the new normal.
    Her 2 front, bottom teeth finished cutting through on Tuesday (I assume that is the worst part?) so maybe we can go back to a few longer stretches...

  • So glad it's not just us. Her sleeping isn't too bad but nowhere near as good as it used to be. She also thrashes around a lot which I'm putting down to teething niggles. First two came through this week. I don't dream feed. Tried it once but didn't make a difference. Does anyone find it helps?
  • Yes, we're at a month of this. Have had a few nights with just one waking, but mostly more...many, many more! Have been bringing him into bed in the mornings when he has the hardest time and I just need to lie down. That keeps me sane and he sleeps much better.

  • I think we are in week 3. I lost my official count. He wakes at least once per night (usually 2-3)... and is SO hard to get him down to sleep. At first I was dealing reasonably well but I can tell it's wearing on my functioning ability.
