4 month sleep regression happening later

harpyogi · September 2015

Anyone almost make it to 5 months without sleep regression until recently? DS will be 5 months in a week and a half and just recently has reverted back to 4 hours then every 2 hours at night vs the amazing 6-7 hours then 3-4 hours after that at the beginning of the month. He's already past the 4 month developmental leap and growth spurt so it seems a little off to have the sleep regression happening now.

My DS also had the sleep regression happen after 4 months, more in the 5 months range. He will be turning 6 months on the 25th and just now getting back into good solid cycles. He was also born a month premature, so I wasn't too worried about it.

Thank you @crsanchez87! My son was born a month premature too so that makes sense. I forget at times that somethings he's in line with his actual age and other things more his adjusted age.

I've also heard the regression can occur anywhere from 3-5 months. DS went through his closer to 3 months.

DS went through sleep regression around 4.5 months also. 5 months tomorrow! The last couple of nights he has only woke once to feed. So here's hoping! He goes to sleep between 730-830 then usually gets up between 12-1. After that there is no pattern to when he wakes up. Anywhere between 4-7. I am struggling to get to work on time.

My daughter started 2 nights ago getting up almost every hour from 12-6.. I'm SOO exhausted! How long will this regression last? She will be 5 months next week.

I'm experiencing this too and have been for almost 3 weeks now. She was sleeping solid since month 2 only waking up once per night around 2 am to feed. Now it's about 5 times per night and can't seem to settle. She will be 5 months soon.

My little guy hasn't gone through this yet. His longest stretch is 4 hours, then every 2 - 3 after that. Has been that way since 2 months. Any chance I might get lucky and skip it?!

Yeaah not skipping it...started last night. Up every 1.5 hours to eat and same this morning so far.

Update: got worse before it got better, up every 1.5-2 hours at night. But it seems like maybe (fingers crossed) we are starting to be on the upswing as he's gone back to 5 hours then 3/4 hours the last two nights. I feel like I'm still catching up on sleep lost though. Good luck everyone, seems there is hope!!
