I've been napping him in my arms when all else fails to get him some sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regression-help#post-316038 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 16:43:38 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 316038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>will she nap longer if you wear her? For sleep regressions I vote that you do whatever it takes to keep them from getting way overtired (but don't beat yourself up if they do). She'll be back to her happy napping self eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regression-help#post-315981 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 15:59:42 +0000 meredithNYC 315981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: How long has he been doing the shorter naps? Like I said, G's only started to be really crappy this week, but I am hoping it's a short-term thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regression-help#post-315969 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 15:55:54 +0000 winniebee 315969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice....but I'm there with you on naps. T's overnight sleep seems to be resolved momentarily, but he is now a terrible napper. I can't get a decent nap out of him regardless of what I do and now he's basically only napping in my arms in the afternoons. He used to nap 2-3 hours in the morning and then a few more hour naps (or at least 45 mins)....now it's 30 mins around the clock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regression-help#post-315960 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 15:51:43 +0000 meredithNYC 315960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I will admit to thinking I had the sleep thing handled fairly well. LO is a little over 4 months old and she sleeps from 7pm-7am and usually naps for a total of about 5 hours per day. That is, until this week. This week, while she has kept her nighttime sleep the same, her naps are all over the place. Whereas she used to do 2-3 hours in the morning, she's doing an hour and a half if I'm lucky. As for the other two naps, I used to get about an hour or longer each and now I'm getting 30 minutes.</p> <p>I'm assuming that this is down to the 4 month regression because I have changed literally nothing else about our routine. The only other thing I have noted is she's eating more frequently than usual.</p> <p>Anyone have any advice on getting past this? I know I am very lucky to have her sleeping through the night, but she's extremely agitated and over-tired and it's tough to see her this way. </p>
