Just in time for me to go back to work next week. Perfect. It doesn't help that he's rolling both ways so no more swaddle and he's still in the bassinet but seems to have outgrown it. Time to get a crib I guess. 😴 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653446 Thu, 17 Nov 2016 01:19:40 +0000 AprilFool 2653446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently dealing with this right now! Naps are crap, we have an extra night wake up but since he goes to bed at 5 it's at 9 so not so bad and starting the day at 4:30 *yawn* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653434 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 23:10:28 +0000 autumnlove 2653434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older two skipped it completely but it was bad with LO 3. Her sleep didn't improve until she was 7-8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653394 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 20:17:30 +0000 pachamama 2653394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: I also was very worked up about it but ours was a blip on the radar. I don't remember anything traumatic or him changing sleeping patterns too much. This website is a blessing and a curse- I get a lot of questions answered but also unnecessarily preemptively worry about stuff for no reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653385 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 19:52:41 +0000 Miss Ariel 2653385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd never really had a 4 month regression. But she's always been an awesome sleeper and slept through the night before 2 months. She had somewhat of an 8 month regression, but I think it was also due to flying cross country then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653351 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 18:47:10 +0000 wrkbrk 2653351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: We didn't notice anything. He sleeps worse when he's sick but otherwise doesn't track the supposed regressions. Don't worry too much in advance! Every baby is so different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653320 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 17:52:56 +0000 MrsSCB 2653320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woooo, thanks guys! I feel like you hear so many horror stories that it's nice to get some positive ones :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653243 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:48:36 +0000 mamainthesun 2653243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't even know it was a thing until months after! So no sleep regression here! there is hope for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653178 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 14:26:48 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2653178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have never had a sleep regression and he is now 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653117 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 13:25:33 +0000 mdf106 2653117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of mine had a 4 month sleep regression. I think they both improved around then, especially my second. They were both good sleepers to begin with, especially my first. They did/do sleep worse when travelling, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653100 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 12:56:30 +0000 Mama Bird 2653100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first skipped it. I didn't even know there was a four month sleep regression with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2653096 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 12:36:17 +0000 MenagerieMama 2653096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't. Her sleep actually got better around then! But she wasn't a good sleeper so it seems like the only place to go was up at that point :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652994 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 10:00:28 +0000 catlady 2652994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was awful and we had to sleep train to get her out of it. BUT, it ended up being the only sleep regression she ever had (I have definitely heard friends complain of them at later ages, even toddlers who had been STTN). So just wanted to give hope in case you do end up dealing with it that you may end up lucking out down the line like we did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652981 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 09:54:06 +0000 travellingbee 2652981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS2 wasn't so bad but it did coincide with teething so his sleep did get crappy for a while but it went back to normal after that, fairly quickly. DS1 it was terrible. His sleep was never ok after 4 months (actually about a week before). He didn't sleep through the night until he was 3 years old after that. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652979 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 09:52:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2652979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first and third skipped the four month but had rough eight month regressions.<br /> My second had some trouble around give months but I was pregnant and having supply issues. She's been consistently STTN since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652970 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 09:45:47 +0000 MrsKoala 2652970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never happened with my first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652955 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 09:25:17 +0000 looch 2652955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a 4 month regression (I don't follow wonder weeks or regressions like that at all) but I didn't have a good sleeper from the start, so things were pretty bumpy in the sleep department. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652930 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 08:41:00 +0000 LAZB 2652930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L never has any issues with the typical regressions. We were so lucky with her, she's a great sleeper </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652919 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 08:28:48 +0000 KayKay 2652919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely noticed the typical sleep regressions with my DD1 a lot more than with DD2. Maybe it was just that I knew sleep would be ever-changing and didn't have time to obsess over what might be the *cause* (i.e., nothing! it's a baby!)? Or maybe DD2 didn't really go through them? Not sure. But I would say the only real "regression" DD2 had was when she went from SSTN (6-9m) to waking up to eat once around 9m-11m. But it was really easy to extinguish that feed again once I decided to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652866 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 22:46:39 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2652866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 has always been a rockstar sleeper (minus the 1.5 when she had reflux but we didn't know). No sleep regressions at all. Fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652863 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 22:28:17 +0000 ocean81 2652863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter completely skipped the 4 month regression. Hope you are just as lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652853 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 22:18:01 +0000 sapphire 2652853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had some trouble with falling asleep around 5-6 months and we sleep trained.

And a tooth was even coming out during that time. She was at her regular 10-10.5 hours by that time. She has never slept longer and is 14 months now, but I'll take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652840 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 21:41:10 +0000 ValentineMommy 2652840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds1 skipped it entirely. He's almost 4 now. </p> <p>He was sttn 6-8 hours by 5 weeks old. 12 hours by 12 weeks. No regressions and is still a great sleeper.</p> <p>Ds2...that 4 month regression SUCKED. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652836 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 21:34:47 +0000 catgirl 2652836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: DD has always been a pretty good sleeper. She was typically only up once a night from about 3 months on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652832 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 21:12:04 +0000 erinbaderin 2652832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm afraid to tell you because I'll be up all night if I say this out loud, but Dubs has always been a good sleeper. He woke up twice a night for about his first three months and since then has been down to once unless he's sick. I actually totally forgot about the four month regression until I realized at about six months that he'd never had it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652831 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 21:11:10 +0000 BabyTsMom 2652831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never went through any real regressions.... don't ask me about naps right now though! (Lo is 2.5) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-not-deal-with-four-month-sleep-regression-or-wasnt-too-bad#post-2652828 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 21:03:04 +0000 MrsSCB 2652828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: @catgirl: How was their sleep before four months? F has been sleeping six to eight hours straight since just before eight weeks...I'm hoping that's a good sign (although I shouldn't even been saying this -- first rule of good baby sleep: don't talk about good baby sleep ;-) *knocking on all the wood* ) </p>
