It sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-were-hitting-the-4-month-sleep-regression-early#post-1676611 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:10:39 +0000 raintreebee 1676611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds exactly like what we are going through. LO is 15.5 weeks adjusted from due date and this started last week. So awful!! And we also aren't into CIO, at least at this age. No advice. Just sympathy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-were-hitting-the-4-month-sleep-regression-early#post-1676605 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:06:37 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1676605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: Sounds like what we dealt with between 3.5-4 months. I want to say it was maybe a month of really awful naps and sleep, and then another month and a bit of not-great naps and sleep.<br /> We sleep trained at 6 months, and it worked well (until now...the 9 month regression). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-were-hitting-the-4-month-sleep-regression-early#post-1676596 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:03:55 +0000 artsyfartsy 1676596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: How long did it last? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-were-hitting-the-4-month-sleep-regression-early#post-1676595 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 20:03:43 +0000 sarahbs 1676595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby D is 15.5 weeks and he started doing the same thing around 13 weeks!! I figured it was the 4 month regression early but man does it stink! His naps, especially the past few days, have been awful! He finally passed out tonight, but I don't have high hopes for him sleeping a long time.</p> <p>He also slams his legs down on the bed! He also struggles like crazy - his eyes will roll back in his head but then he'll jerk himself awake. So I understand the frustration!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-were-hitting-the-4-month-sleep-regression-early#post-1676518 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:39:45 +0000 Tidybee 1676518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: Haha it was awful. It wasn't total cry it out. We'd nurse or rock her to sleep and then I'd alternatively feed her and let her CIO for each wakeup. It lasted just long enough until I was ready to lose it, and then it just stopped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-were-hitting-the-4-month-sleep-regression-early#post-1676514 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:37:46 +0000 Smurfette 1676514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah hit us at 3.5 months. It was bad. I had to hold her still she was dead asleep then too. So wake ups took forever. And she would be up every 20-90 mins. I have no clue how I worked. We had to CIO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-were-hitting-the-4-month-sleep-regression-early#post-1676496 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:34:12 +0000 artsyfartsy 1676496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: Ah don't tell me that! I'm scared of CIO. Lol</p> <p>I have a very fragile little mommy heart. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-were-hitting-the-4-month-sleep-regression-early#post-1676488 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:32:11 +0000 Tidybee 1676488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds exactly like us -- and she hit is at 3.5 months. The only thing that worked was CIO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-were-hitting-the-4-month-sleep-regression-early#post-1676469 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:24:51 +0000 artsyfartsy 1676469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T has been a great sleeper since birth (he's 3.5 months now). He always has slept all night even as a newborn. He would wake to nurse every 3 hours but go straight back to sleep. At 8 weeks he began STTN. We struggled with naps but eventually got it worked out. He started sleeping more during naps and started having a 4am MOTN wake up. No big deal though because he was such a happy baby.</p> <p>Recently he's started fighting naps. Used to all we had to do was lay him on his tummy and he would pass slick out. Now he struggles and fights and cries (does this at daycare too, not just at home). I have to rock him to sleep and then lay him down and sometimes that doesn't even work. Now he won't hardly go down for bed. It used to be bath time, nurse, swaddle, rock,and he was out for the night. Now He fusses and fights (could be because he's not napping well anymore) until he just passes out. We put him in his crib but he's wide awake 2 hours later and ends up in bed with us for the rest of the night (won't sleep in his crib no matter how many times we rock/nurse/soothe him back to sleep), where he will wake up every 3 hours again to feed. It's making it hard to get ready for work in the mornings because he is so unpredictable. Getting out of bed wakes him up. </p> <p>We're still getting plenty of sleep because I'm able to pop the boob in his mouth at night instead of getting up, but we're still up and down all night and anything sleep related is so stressful. I finally had to pass him off to DH to do bedtime tonight (it's usually mine and T's special alone time) because I was so tired of him kicking me.</p> <p>He's a squirmy baby anyway. We swaddle him to keep his hands out of his face...otherwise he keeps himself awake, but he still raises his feet up and slams them down into the mattress repeatedly. It's kind of funny but he can't hardly ever settle himself to sleep. He's too wild! I don't know what I'm going to do when it's time to swaddle wean him...drug him I guess! Lol</p> <p>Is this the 4 month regression early or am I doing something wrong? </p>
