for the past 4 nights my 4 month old has been waking up at least 5 times a night and I can't take it anymore I'm exhausted

he use to only wake up once during the night

how do I get him out of this?!

We just went through this. It sucks, and we tried a few things but ultimately I think she just had to work it out on her own. We started putting her to sleep drowsy but awake so she doesn't need to be fed to fall asleep. I think that's been the biggest help. Now when she wakes up earlier in the night, before her usual 3am bottle, she can put herself back to sleep rather than needing to eat. We also got a white noise machine. Some nights are great, some are still bad, but the bad nights are getting less and less. Hang in there, it's been about 2 weeks for us.

Sounds like you're in the four month sleep regression. It sucks, but you'll get through it. LOs also want to be held a lot during this period. Enjoy the snuggles.

Agreed mine is going through it now. It's a phase and they will eventually go back to normal. Stay calm, sleep when they sleep (I'm a SAHM so it's easier for me), and sometimes we snuggle in bed until she is just about to sleep and then crib her.

We are coming out of now, fingers crossed. We have had a few good nights in the past week. I've read that the length of the regression varies from baby to baby. My first child didn't go through one at all. You'll get through it! Get all the support you can at nighttime, and keep your expectations low so you don't get overly frustrated. We tried all sorts of things to help with her sleep (white noise, swaddle, no swaddle, substituting a nursing session with a bottle in the motn, etc) but nothing made a difference in our case. It's so hard to adjust to getting up so frequently you never really fall asleep, especially since it sounds like your LO was such a good sleeper! Hope you get some rest soon!

LO is four months old today. She's still sleeping through the night but naps are non existent unless I'm holding her. Sucks because I also have a toddler that destroys my house while I hold LO haha. LO is sitting up already, getting good with her hand-eye coordination, teething, grabbing everything. She's becoming so aware of her body no wonder she doesn't want to sleep lol.

We are going through this to and glad to see I'm not the only mom getting frustrated. My LO started this right before he rolled over back to front and has been at it for about a week and a half. Tried everything as well nothing helps. He wakes every hour if not more. I posted this morning because I was so frustrated looking for answers. I don't know that there is any besides make due and wait it out as freaking frustrating as that is....i'll be following this thread tho to see what others say...on a brighter note Ive heard from two moms that once they made it through they turn into great sleeper.... fingers crossed for our sanity

last night I tried him in his own room I thought he might sleep better without any sounds me and my partner might make while sleeping,
he went to bed at 10, woke up at 1:30, 3:30 so I just put him back in my bed so I didn't have to get up again, 5:45 and at 7 when I was getting so frustrated because he kept tossing and turning and whinging and wouldn't go back to sleep I put his room and closed the door and went back to bed. 5 minuets later I felt bad and turned the baby monitor on and he was asleep. now of course it's 7:45am and I'm wide awake and can't get back to sleep
