DD went to sleeping all the time to barely sleeping at all!!! I mean... Yesterday she took only 3 naps the whole day an hour each. DD was never like this. She would nap for 3 to 4 hour stretches about 3 times a day then sleep 6 to 7 hours at night. Now at night time it's 4 hours then she is up every hour after that . DD isn't always hungry when she wakes up either. Diaper is always fine because we change it before we give her a bottle when she wakes and we make sure she is not too hot or too cold when sleeping.
I have heard of the 4 month sleep regression but isn't this too early?? Anyone else's LO's sleeping pattern suddenly change!?!?

Yesterday, however, he was talking a ton - including some very passionate almost yelling, he rolled over for the first time, nawed on my finger like crazy all day, and was trying to reach to kick things with his feet (he's discovered his hands weeks ago). He also barely pooped and I notice when it seems like his digestion slows down (the time he stopped pooping overnight and maybe it's slowing to only a poop or two a day now) he has a few days of fussiness adjusting. So maybe it's development, maybe it's digestion, I don't know, but I hope he gets over it soon!
DH was going to go out of town this weekend and I would've had no one available to help (which when he can't be put down for naps, is barely awake 45 mins in between and fusses all evening, is not cool) so I asked him to stay and thank god I did!
With that, there are days where he will sleep a TON during the day and then night time might be a crap shoot. I'll say that a lot of his sleep depends on how many times he poops that day. I know it sounds weird, but if he hasn't gone all day and nighttime is creeping up on us, he's miserable. You can just tell that he's irritable. In order to be all around happy, LO needs to go at least 2 times a day. He usually does, but on the days he doesn't I can gaurentee that his naps are going to be off and his nighttime sleep is going to be squirly too.
Even a STM doesn't know everything

My LO has decided he's too good for sleep ( he's a total diva apprently ) and will get soooo tired he will have a full blown melt down where NOTHING calms him down unless it's a bottle ( doesn't matter if he just ate 30 mins ago)
we usually go to bed about 12:30 and he sleeps through until 6:30/7:30 then he will go back to sleep ( i started work again and I wake him up at 9:30 to get him dressed and ready to go and I'll feed again here). The rest of the day e only takes cat naps 30 mins, 45mins MAYBE 1 hr -- by the time we get home he's exhausted and so tired he can't sleep. I don't know what to do.
