I'm just so desperate for her to stay a good sleeper, although I know I can't do anything about illness and teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2075835 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 20:33:30 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2075835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At both 4 and 9 months sleep got worse, but not BAD. At 4 months we went from one waking between 3 and 5 to one waking between 12 and 1, and another between 3 and 5. Annoying, but not a huge problem esp since I was still on mat leave. At 9 months, we had teeting and jetlag thrown into the mix and sleep got rough for a while - needing patting to fall asleep and waking up once or twice a night after consistently sleeping through from 6 months. But really, neither were terrible. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2072784 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:55:07 +0000 BeachMama 2072784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep we skipped it. We haven't really had any regressions until recently and she's 2.5. Granted she was colicky and a horrible sleeper for the first 3 months of her life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2072767 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:27:25 +0000 erinpye 2072767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate all of you who had regression skippers. KIDDING. But, no, neither of my kids skipped *any* of the sleep regressions. The 4 monthers were particularly rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2072754 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:15:54 +0000 BabyBruins 2072754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older son didn't do it, but he was born 6 weeks early so his adjusted age was behind. But I never felt he was truly 6 weeks behind his actual age.<br /> My second son went through it BAD. We did sleep training shortly after he turned 4 months and it took forever for him to get it. Then sleep got even worse at 6 months and finally got better at 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2072723 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 23:48:56 +0000 SweetiePie 2072723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we technically had a sleep regression. But maybe we did if you can count a few off nights. When he learned to roll A little after 4 months we had a few bad nights of rolling and waking. But all in all he's been sleeping through the night. 5 months and 1 week today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2072672 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 22:54:18 +0000 BandDmommy 2072672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No sleep regressions. *knocks on wood </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2072670 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 22:52:06 +0000 shellio 2072670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first never had anything like that.

I have been waiting for it to start and hoping that we would skip it. He's 4.5 months and I am still getting 12-13 hour STTN stretches. Occasionally I have a MOTN feeding, but it is rare. We have never had great naps and he always cries to start them, but nothing has changed in the last few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2072010 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:53:39 +0000 LuLu Mom 2072010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we didn't have sleep issues until teething started around 5-6 months, once she popped the teeth she was back to her nice 11-12 hour stretches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071901 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:52:20 +0000 Charm54 2071901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were able to escape it! Though her naps when to shit around 4 months and she went through an incredibly fussy period...thank goodness she kept STTN! I would have had a mental breakdown </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071899 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:51:54 +0000 illumina 2071899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But then LO has been consistently STTN since 8 weeks old and the only regressions we've had are where she takes a long time to fall asleep in the first place and might cry a little, but nothing major. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071783 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:34:49 +0000 BadgerMom 2071783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we went through it but it wasn't that bad. Naps went from nice and long to 40 minutes, but that's totally normal, so I decided not to stress and just gave him as many 40 minute naps as he needed to make it through the day. He was a good night sleeper pre-4 months, and the only thing 4 months brought was an earlier than normal early morning wake/feed. That was the worst part because I'm not a morning person. We eventually cried it out at 5.5months and his early morning wake/feed went back to normal. All and all, I think we came out pretty unscathed. The 8 month regression has been pretty much the same story, except naps are not nearly as effected, yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071735 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 12:10:24 +0000 Somebunny 2071735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think she really had one... However, I mostly look back on her first year of sleep as one long sleep regression. :silly: She didn't sleep well, but at wasn't worse at 4 months. It was just the normal not sleeping issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071721 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:58:13 +0000 hellocupcake 2071721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're sort of going through it now and it's not that bad. He still sleeps through the night, but has been fighting naps. You can tell he is fighting sleep so that he can stay awake to watch whatever we're all up to. He's not fussy much in general, so it hasn't been that bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071710 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:53:28 +0000 mrsjyw 2071710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a short five days where he went from STTN to waking a few times. I just nursed him back down, and he was back to his normal schedule less than week later :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071658 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:16:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2071658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C had extra bad sleep at 3.5 months, then it ever so slowly started getting better. Many of my friends had something similar- 3-3.5 months was worse than 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071640 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:03:45 +0000 meredithNYC 2071640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't experience it, but she was sleep trained around 3 months so that may have had something to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071634 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:02:53 +0000 Mamasig 2071634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like neither of my boys have ever had regressions (2 1/2 and 9 months). The 1st was never a great sleeper. The 2nd has been better. I just feel like some nights they sleep awesome and some nights not so great. Just normal babies and toddlers! I can't pinpoint and say 4 months - regression time. They actually were sleeping pretty well at 4 months. I don't expect any two nights to be the same anymore - it's always changing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071618 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:56:49 +0000 autumnleaves 2071618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have one. At 5 months, when LO started rolling more and becoming more active he slept less in the MOTN but that was for a week and he wasn't crying or hungry - just playing is his crib.<br /> When I brought up the 4 month sleep regression at LO's 4 month check up, the PA said she never heard of the 4 month sleep regression and that it is not an issue that comes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071584 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:42:14 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2071584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We skipped it. She woke up once at four months after a couple months of sttn and went back to sttn the next night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071583 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:41:48 +0000 galore5 2071583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first never had a regression, but also didn't sleep through the night until 5 months. My second has had many good and bad stretches in sleep, but none I would consider a full regression. Sometimes she just needs extra love at night for a few days and then typically gets back on track.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071562 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:33:57 +0000 Ree723 2071562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither one of mine ever had a four month sleep regression, or any sleep regression really.... They're 2.5 and 12 months now. The older one has always been an amazing sleeper, the younger one slightly less so but still a good sleeper overall, so maybe we just hit the jackpot :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-not-have-the-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2071560 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:32:11 +0000 MenagerieMama 2071560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself but I feel like we skipped it. But I also feel like LO was not a great sleeper and just started to finally improve things (i.e. nap in the crib) around 3 mo and it's just slowly been an improvement since then. There have been a few hiccups with every 2 hr MOTN wake ups everyonce in a while, but she's 4.5 mo and the past two nights have been the best she's had with only 2 MOTN wake ups and last night spent all night in her crib until we got her a little before 7am and she was just hanging out chatting to herself! Maybe if she had been a better sleeper to start I would have noticed something, but we were at q2 hr wake ups at night and only napping while being held/worn as a starting point so things have just been (slowly) improving! </p>
