We did sleep training to fall asleep at 3.5 months and I think that helped keep four months from being awful. </p> <p>In short- it's possible you are already in the worst of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1620656 Thu, 08 May 2014 06:23:53 +0000 DillonLion 1620656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It lasted a few days.

I think sleep training before the 4mth regression would have kicked in spared us. We are almost 8mths now and have had no regressions, yet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1620602 Thu, 08 May 2014 02:05:36 +0000 googly-eyes 1620602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No 4 month regression even though I was terrified!</p> <p>If you read people's stories on regressions, the "4 month" one seems to be somewhere between 3 and 5 months and a 9 month one between 8 and 10 months etc etc. I think (jmo!) the idea is that sometimes babies go through periods of crap sleep. They've got a lot going on. There is no definitive rule on when that happens. All babies are different. Different things affect them differently and they develop at different rates... If it happens you WILL get through it, but don't think you're doomed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1620595 Thu, 08 May 2014 01:50:13 +0000 tysonja 1620595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we haven't ever experienced any sleep regressions with our 2 LO's... or maybe we did and didn't realize it? they've been good sleepers :) phew... hope you escape it toooo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1620593 Thu, 08 May 2014 01:45:26 +0000 lamariniere 1620593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: this was the same for my son. He was a crappy sleeper from the beginning, so the whole first year looked the same to me. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1620040 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:34:24 +0000 delight 1620040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was a great sleeper, had one really bad week right at 4 months and then started STTN 10+ hours again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1620030 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:31:16 +0000 MrsB2012 1620030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ocean girl: haha she had 2 nights a week or so ago where she sttn, so I think/hope it's slowly getting better haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1620011 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:20:27 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1620011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liam actually started STTN at 4.5 months, so we not only escaped it, we somehow did the opposite. And we did not sleep train (until 17 months...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1619989 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:11:36 +0000 Ocean girl 1619989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsB2012: ahhh, this is my life! She did a full night last week and I thought it was over but now we are back to multiple wake ups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1619985 Wed, 07 May 2014 17:09:59 +0000 Ocean girl 1619985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We escaped it. DD slept through the night from about 3 months until the last month or so (she will be 9 months on the 27th).</p> <p>She still hasn't popped out any teeth, so I'm hoping that teeth can be blamed for the 3-4 wake ups we have been having most nights recently!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1619948 Wed, 07 May 2014 16:53:44 +0000 MrsB2012 1619948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B was a great sleeper, STTN from 1 month old - 8 months old. Now I think we are hitting the 9 month regression and it's bad. She's been waking up 2-5 times a night for the last 6 weeks. However, she STTN last night so I'm hoping it's coming to an end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1619633 Wed, 07 May 2014 14:51:36 +0000 sheskrafty 1619633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was a great sleeper before the 4 month sleep regression. I thought we were going to escape it because it didn't hit until she was 4.5 months old, but it lasted a long time, I want to say for over a month until we finally had to sleep train her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1619609 Wed, 07 May 2014 14:45:40 +0000 Cherrybee 1619609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, sorry, we went through it. I thought we were suffering badly but now I've experienced the 9 month one I can see that it was in fact a breeze. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1619524 Wed, 07 May 2014 14:17:18 +0000 Alivoo01 1619524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is a terrible sleeper and waking up hourly was a nightmare. We're in the throws of the 9 month one right now.

Lots of other regressions, but not that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1618936 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:29:59 +0000 Charm54 1618936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was petrified because C STTN early and everyone kept saying at 4 months it would stop. But she kept STTN , save for a few periods where she'd go maybe a week with a MOTN wakeup then go back to normal. Not sure if that's a real regression or not but it was never as bad as I feared! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1618934 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:29:00 +0000 looch 1618934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was a challenging sleeper and honestly, I didn't know there was a thing as regression at certain months.</p> <p>So, I can't answer if we skipped it or not, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1618925 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:26:14 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1618925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was STTN at 11 weeks. At four months exactly she woke up in the MOTN for two days in a row. Then back to STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1618920 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:23:56 +0000 Pirouette 1618920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had a regression for HER - she was STTN 10+ hours every night, and started waking up once or twice a night. but i don't know if i can call that a sleep regression, because she only ever wakes up when she's hungry. It feels more like a month long growth spurt. And even at her worst, she's still a pretty good sleeper, we're just spoiled because she was an amazing sleeper before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1618918 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:23:40 +0000 autumnlove 1618918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No 4 month regressions here! LO 2 did have a couple weeks of waking up once around 10.5 months before she went back to STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1618902 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:19:19 +0000 Grace 1618902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was also a crappy sleeper and 3 hours was the best she did. I don't think her sleep got much worse (maybe 2.5 hour stretches and definitely had a hard time after 5AM), but it also didn't get any better, which was kind of depressing when sleep already sucked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1618901 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:18:04 +0000 PurplePeony 1618901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a cluster of 2-3 nights where she was up constantly. Then things went back to normal for about a week, and then it happened again. BUT, ever since then she seems more able to go to sleep on her own -- we can put her down 60-70% drowsy rather than practically asleep, and she'll sometimes wake up in the night, play and talk to herself a bit, and then go back to sleep. Who knows if it will last, but while it does it's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1618853 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:02:33 +0000 edelweiss 1618853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't have a 4-month regression BUT i will note that LO was not the best sleeper from the get-go. and we did have a 12-month regression that lasted about a week and a half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-go-through-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-1618817 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:50:19 +0000 raintreebee 1618817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please say yes. Please say yes. At three months, we still only get 3 hour stretches so I can't imagine it gets worse! I am surely going to regret saying that. </p>
