She routinely sleeps 8-4, feeds, and then goes back to sleep until 5:30. If wakes to eat past 4:30 then she's usually up for the day.</p> <p>We did notice her naps turned to crap at 3.5 months and we haven't gotten them back on track. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-905186 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:18:15 +0000 googly-eyes 905186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @Pumpkinspice: maybe because for me the first round of sleep deprivation came with severe ppd, it's possible I confuse the 2, blend them together. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904842 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 15:26:22 +0000 Tidybee 904842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD went through a regression at. 3 1/2 months that lasted for about a week. We then were smooth sailing til a regression at 6 months that I think we're still dealing with at 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904469 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:48:47 +0000 Crisark 904469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I'm kinda thinking the same thing. I'm so use to sleeping all night now I may not be able to function if she starts getting up at night again lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904465 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:47:47 +0000 regberadaisy 904465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: no way! We hit a patch of REALLY bad sleep recently for two weeks and it was horrific. At least back then I was already barely getting sleep. Now I was spoiled with better sleep so it made it harder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904462 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:47:44 +0000 Crisark 904462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: I honestly do not recall either of my other daughters going through this. I was really intrigued by this when I first started seeing it on the boards.<br /> Granted it's been 10 and 6 years since I had a baby but I really do not remember any awful sleep issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904454 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:46:19 +0000 googly-eyes 904454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: Did either of your other two go through it? I just feel like the further from the newborn terrible sleep we got, the more prepared I was because I'd gotten to rest. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904449 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:45:09 +0000 Crisark 904449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: See we haven't had to sleep train. She did it on her own. Puts herself to bed most nights and has always slept in her crib. Hopefully that won't change too much.<br /> @Kemma: We are currently in the second leap of the wonder weeks and she is def following along with their possible changes but only during the day. Hopefully, she won't stop sleeping at night during her developmental leaps.<br /> @googly-eyes: I figure since she's my third I shouldn't have much problem dealing with it if it happens but no one likes less sleep ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904436 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:42:00 +0000 googly-eyes 904436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: haha truly though, I think I was more prepared by 8 months when it hit. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904426 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:40:59 +0000 Kemma 904426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dodged the four month regression but hit the six month regression with a vengeance and only came out of it at just past seven months (we didn't sleep train, our sleep issues were all developmental and completely normal for a baby!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904320 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:19:23 +0000 hilsy85 904320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started at 15 wks and just got progressively worse--3 to 5 wakeups a night. Finally we sleep trained at 6.5 monts and things have improved since then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904295 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:16:29 +0000 Crisark 904295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: Holy crap that doesn't sound fun at all!<br /> @googly-eyes: lol nope I refuse to acknowledge the next possible sleep regression lol ;)<br /> @Smurfette: Hmm well I guess drool for now is better than her being in pain for teeth coming through so I'll just deal with that lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904262 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:11:52 +0000 Smurfette 904262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: R has been drooling so bad, goes through multiple bibs a day, blows bubbles and chews on everything, especially her hands for almost 2 months now. I keep thinking maybe she is teething but nothing yet. </p> <p>And it is awful. I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904259 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:11:16 +0000 googly-eyes 904259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No four month regression for us! Now ask me about the 9 month one! lol. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904258 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:11:13 +0000 autumn865 904258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD wasn't sleeping through the night but giving me a 5 hour long stretch which I thought was acceptable. Around 3.5 months her sleep and naps started to deteriorate until she was waking up EVERY HOUR all night. Things finally got better at 5.5 months when we sleep trained. It was awful though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904241 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:09:00 +0000 Crisark 904241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Ugh that is awful!<br /> Luckily she has yet to get sick (I'm sure that's coming). She has been a little harder to get to sleep the past couple days but she's still been sleeping her 'normal' amt of hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904230 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:07:30 +0000 Smurfette 904230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were getting an 8-10 hour stretch at night. Then she started waking up once a night. Now at a week before 4 months, she gets up after a 3 or 4 hour stretch, every 10mins to 1.5 hour for the rest of the night. Usually only the boob will put her back to sleep. It is pretty much hell. And she had a cold on top of it. So her coughing will wake her up even more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904198 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:02:10 +0000 Crisark 904198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>See Anna is starting to drool a lot now and blow spit bubbles and likes chewing on teethers so I was worried she was starting to teeth early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904188 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:00:31 +0000 Crisark 904188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Anna's been STTN since about 6 weeks so I'm hoping if we hit some rough patches that it won't take too long to bounce back to normal.<br /> She was the one that put herself on a night time routine so she must like it lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904185 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:00:11 +0000 regberadaisy 904185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: she also started cutting teeth before 4 months too so I think that added to it too. And I think it just never stopped! She had 10 teeth by the time she was one!</p> <p>And I def freaked out a few nights and DH had to take her and just let her play so I can get a breather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904179 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:59:34 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 904179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also want to add that our regression may have seemed longer too because he was also battling a cold that he caught from his sister at the same time. AWFUL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904171 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:58:28 +0000 mrsjyw 904171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: we were super super lucky... he also broke his two bottom teeth at that time, so we were SUPER SUPER lucky to get only a few nights of wakeups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904168 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:58:08 +0000 Freckles 904168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours happened around 3.5 months, around the time that she started to roll over. Luckily, it only lasted a few days. I just did whatever i could to get through it (e.g., Ergo or stroller naps, nursing as often as possible). I found that it was easier to get through it because her longest stretch was only 5 hours at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904167 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:58:06 +0000 Crisark 904167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Ok that's just awful! You are my hero for not losing your ever loving mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904162 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:57:16 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 904162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got past it! It started at 3.5 months, and ended just earlier this week (a little past 4 months). I would say it lasted 2.5 weeks for us. </p> <p>We went from sleeping from 8-4 am... to him waking up 2-3x a night again. The worst was one night when he woke up every two hours on the dot (10pm, 12am, 2am, 4am, 6am... ahhh). He was not as happy as he usually is, drooling like a waterfall, didn't nap as well, and was fussier when breastfeeding.</p> <p>Then one day, it all went back to normal and left as quickly as it came. He is back to sleeping 8-4am... last night he slept from 8 - 6am!!! His naps are longer and more consolidated too. I'm feeling a lot more refreshed this week than I had been this past month.</p> <p>Knowing that it's a phase helped me get through it. It's my 2nd time going through this so I went in expecting it, and it made it a lot more tolerable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904158 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:56:37 +0000 Crisark 904158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: That's not too shabby considering some of the horror stories I've heard.<br /> I really don't remember my older LO's (now 10 and 6) going through this so that might be why I'm not too worried about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904154 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:56:04 +0000 regberadaisy 904154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw. FUL. Just awful.</p> <p>Her sleep was crap to begin with. Then it got worse. Literally 3.5 months of hourly wake ups and 20 minute cat naps. A 2 hour span of sleep was heavenly to me. I had to turn to decaf. While working FT. And she only wanted my boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904142 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:54:32 +0000 mrsjyw 904142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has been STTN since 12 weeks... at 3.5-4 months we had a few days of wakeups, then he went back to STTN except woke up an hour earlier (5/530am) for a solid month after. </p> <p>He has been sleeping 7-6/630 since 5 months (7.5 months now) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/4-month-sleep-regressionyay-or-nay#post-904131 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 12:52:52 +0000 Crisark 904131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, with lots of talk about sleeping and regressions and what not, I thought maybe I'd make a post and add a poll to see just how common it really is. </p> <p>My LO is 12 weeks and currently STTN starting anywhere between 8:30 and 10:30 but sleeps 8hrs from whatever point she goes down.<br /> I'm not too terribly worried about any major regression cause if it happens it happens but I wondered how many of you actually dealt with it and to what extent.<br /> Thanks! </p>
