She went from 1-2 wakeups a night to 6-8 which continued until we sleep trained after she was 6 months. Even after sleep training, she had 1-2 wakeups a night.</p> <p>LO2: blip on the radar. Maybe 3 nights of more frequent wakeups and then back to her usual 1-2 wakeups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2548295 Fri, 13 May 2016 06:49:44 +0000 pachamama 2548295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm my son has only ever napped for 30 to 45 minutes. Not sure it get worse than that!<br /> Famous last words... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2548068 Thu, 12 May 2016 18:59:13 +0000 winniebee 2548068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes for both. My first also entered a 6 week cat nap phase. My second had the cat nap phasetoo but it lasted 4 months 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547985 Thu, 12 May 2016 17:37:04 +0000 Finfan 2547985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do t recall one with my first and if we had one with my current baby it was only 2-3 nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547908 Thu, 12 May 2016 16:31:24 +0000 SweetiePie 2547908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: It definitely happened, and his sleep patterns were drastically disturbed (night sleep only). But it ended as quickly as it started. Nothing lasting, went right back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547904 Thu, 12 May 2016 16:30:08 +0000 SweetiePie 2547904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, 20 months in and it's still the worst. It's actually the only one I could truly identify until 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547832 Thu, 12 May 2016 15:20:33 +0000 babypugs 2547832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Went from disastrous to catastrophic at 4 months. Hope your experience is better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547830 Thu, 12 May 2016 15:18:31 +0000 travellingbee 2547830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terrible both times </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547810 Thu, 12 May 2016 15:01:17 +0000 CakeLady 2547810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS went from sleeping though the night from 3-4 months old, to waking up every hour. It was horrible. I think he is the king of the sleep regression. We are now deeply in the midst of the 2 year... Yet another doozie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547800 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:57:04 +0000 pachamama 2547800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, y'all are scaring me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547793 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:52:43 +0000 Portboston 2547793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. DS has never been a good sleeper but he finally started giving us 5 hour stretches at about 3.5 months. It was a glorious two weeks 😢 We recently did some sleep training at 9 months and it's gotten much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547782 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:48:46 +0000 hellobeeboston 2547782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was just a bad sleeper before during and after 4 months. At 7 months he's now sleeping much better!</p> <p>My first had a very clear regression at 4 months that lasted a few weeks then he went back to normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547770 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:43:03 +0000 Worrywart 2547770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Sounds like we have the same baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547768 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:42:22 +0000 Worrywart 2547768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going through it right now, my son is 4 1/2 months. He's up 3-4x a night. We did also just transition him from the Rock N Play to the crib, so I think that's also causing all of the wake ups. I'm hoping it stops soon. Mama is tired!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547763 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:37:27 +0000 autumnlove 2547763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing for my first two but months 4-7 were kinda bad for LO 3. She started sleeping much better at 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547756 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:34:09 +0000 Rocker2014 2547756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Months 4-7 were awful, multiple wakeups every night. Right around month 8, she started sleeping through the night on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547750 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:31:26 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2547750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first skipped it. With my second I was pregnant again and had a dramatic decrease in supply and she went from sleeping through the night to eating 2-3 times over night. I'm not sure if it was the regression or hunger. :sad: as soon as we got her on solid she went back to STTN.<br /> My third turned four months yesterday and so far so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547742 Thu, 12 May 2016 14:28:45 +0000 Littlebit7 2547742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I don't even want to think back to that awful time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547637 Thu, 12 May 2016 13:20:26 +0000 lovehoneybee 2547637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember it with E but we co-slept full time, so if he woke up/woke me up it was just for a few seconds. </p> <p>We're having a harder time with G. She's up every two hours every night, and she's starting to teeth on top of it. And her naps during the day are terrible. There are some days where she only naps for 20-30 minutes, twice a day. There is not enough coffee in the world to make me feel rested. She'll be 5 months next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547608 Thu, 12 May 2016 13:05:29 +0000 nana87 2547608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was awful! But we were also traveling right around 4 months--I don't know if it was the new surroundings or the regression that made it worse, though we also traveled around 5 months and she was just fine then </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547564 Thu, 12 May 2016 12:44:09 +0000 ValentineMommy 2547564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 - didn't notice at all.<br /> DS4 - it was horrific for a few weeks. We had to get "tough" about it to put an end to it. It wasn't fun at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547548 Thu, 12 May 2016 12:38:00 +0000 Mama Bird 2547548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, baby is nine months and the regression never ended. Though it's partly my fault for doing whatever it takes to keep her from crying and waking up everyone else. I've created some major bad habits :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547543 Thu, 12 May 2016 12:36:31 +0000 lamariniere 2547543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my daughter, it happened at more like 3.5 months. She went from waking only once, maybe twice a night to every 2 hours or less....for the next 11 months :shocked: !</p> <p>My son was a crap sleeper from day 1, so I didn't notice any difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-notice-a-4-month-sleep-regression#post-2547533 Thu, 12 May 2016 12:32:50 +0000 pachamama 2547533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard sometimes the 4-month regression is a blip on the radar and sometimes it's disastrous. My son is 4 months tomorrow. What was your experience? </p>
