So last night was great but who knows what tonight will bring!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-707401 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:15:02 +0000 twoofeverything 707401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's 4 month sleep regression was awwwwwful (awake every 20 minutes LITERALLY all night), but it only lasted a few days. DS only had a couple of nights where he awoke at 12 and 2 for a paci.<br /> Our only lingering effect is that DD now wakes at 4:30-5am for a bottle, instead of 6-6:30. That's really it, though, and it has been consistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-707306 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:51:42 +0000 fancyfunction 707306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm worried about this too as mine just turned 4 months today. She woke at 3am two nights in a row, but was back to 5 am today and already took a nap this morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-707090 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 08:53:37 +0000 swurlygurl 707090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I don't want to hear this! DD's sleep has been wonderfully awesome and predictable. She's just about to turn 3 months, so I only have a little while left of this awesomeness? Maybe she'll skip the 4 month sleep regression? I can hope... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-706998 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 08:32:33 +0000 DillonLion 706998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally all over the place in this household! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-706957 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 08:19:39 +0000 kml636 706957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 month sleep regression rocked our world and LO is almost 5 months and still waking up 2x. From what I read it's normal, i guess we were just spoiled because she was STTN weeks 9 - 15!

No consistency. He was sleeping thru the night since 1 mo. Not anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-698313 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:36:03 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 698313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: i concur with the pumping. I've been doing that all along. as soon as L started STTN, i would wake up engorged and pump one side and feed him from the other. It's how I built my stash. When he wakes in the middle of the night, I just don't pump the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-698309 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:32:44 +0000 hilsy85 698309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: yup, and then over time it became more bad nights, lol. I personally would let her sleep and just hand express a bit or pump a bit til you're comfortable, but totally up to you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-698308 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:32:28 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 698308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: omg, i would SO not wake her up!! haha. what you described is similar to what's been going on with L as well. He started STTN at 8 weeks, and has been good all along with only a few random nights here and there with a middle of night wake up. Well starting about 6 days ago now, he just started waking TWICE during the night for a feeding! Twice! even before he started STTN at 8 weeks, he had been down to one night waking. I am pretty sure this is "late" 4 month sleep regression (he will be 5 months next week). And like you, i've also been working on an earlier bedtime. Last night he went down at 8pm (omg!), woke up at midnight to eat and than was up at 6am for good, which overall was not bad.....so basically my theory is - if the baby is sleeping, let them! do what you need to do, because when they wake, it's all about them! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-698302 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:24:39 +0000 PrincessBaby 698302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Should I wake her up? My personal policy is to not wake a sleeping baby but she's been asleep almost 12 hours and my boobs are hurting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-698300 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:23:38 +0000 PrincessBaby 698300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: So he would have random good nights and then also crap nights? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-698296 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:22:18 +0000 hilsy85 698296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. NO consistency whatsoever for us, and it's still like that at almost 6 months. I hope that this is just a little blip for you guys and H goes back to to STTN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-bananas#post-698287 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 07:14:11 +0000 PrincessBaby 698287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter (just made 4 months) had started STTN at around 8 weeks, but the past couple of weeks she's been having a 3:30ish wake up...I figured this was bc we've been trying to get her bedtime in the 9pm hour range instead of her previous 10:30-11 ( she likes to party all night!). Fine. Well Saturday night she had TWO wake ups- one at 2am and one at 4am. I figured that we were about to be unwilling participants in the 4 Month Sleep Regression...</p> <p>Well last night she went right down at 9pm, and is STILL sleeping and it's 8am. </p> <p>Is this how a sleep regression works? Does it go all over the board? </p> <p>I'm debating waking her up- my boobs are so uncomfortable...But I know she's going through a growth spurt and a wonder weak leap, so I kind of feel like she must need the sleep...</p> <p>Will tonight be awful? How did your 4 month old's sleep change? Was it all over the place? </p>
