G had been sleeping through the night more often than not, then as she got closer to 4 months it was getting harder to put her down for naps and bed, by a week before four months she was waking up at least once or twice a night- which I KNOW is not bad for four months, it is just a lot worse than 0-1 times. She's 4.5 months and still isn't sleeping quite as well at night as before but it's getting better, and she's been generally going down for naps ok again, just still worse than before. We haven't had to sleep train really yet. </p> <p>My older LO never really had a 4 month sleep regression since you need to have something to regress from. It couldn't get worse than where she had been at 3.5 months! So I am aware and grateful that my second is a decent sleeper!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2538325 Sun, 01 May 2016 19:59:27 +0000 delight 2538325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours was at exactly 4 months and lasted for about a week. Our DD is a good sleeper and that is really the only time in the last 2.5 years where I wanted to pull my hair out. It was short lived but wa torturous at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2538034 Sun, 01 May 2016 10:04:44 +0000 macintosh 2538034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 months, lasted for a month. It was brutal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2538023 Sun, 01 May 2016 09:30:41 +0000 MamaBear87 2538023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our started around 3.5 months. She's now 6 months old and still hasn't come back from it. She's finally sleeping somewhat better but that's mostly because we let her co sleep. I'm not one for sleep training tho and that might help </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2538022 Sun, 01 May 2016 09:23:03 +0000 travellingbee 2538022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of mine started at 3.5ish months. Both bad. DS1- he was sleeping through the night until 3.5 months and then he was up constantly. Never stopped on it's own. We sleep trained at 9 months (horrible!!!) which helped but he's always been a crappy sleeper since then.</p> <p>DS2- had been sleeping 7-5 until the last couple of weeks. Then he started waking at 3 and 5. Now he's been waking a ton. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2538006 Sun, 01 May 2016 08:45:03 +0000 catlady 2538006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say ours started around 3.5 months and it felt like it would have lasted forever except we sleep trained at 5.5 months. I get the sense that ours was particularly bad though. She was up almost every hour and she'd have a really hard time getting back to sleep and then she'd up "up for the day" at like 4am but ready for a "nap" at 6. I had just gone back to work and was a zombie for like 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2537977 Sun, 01 May 2016 07:07:45 +0000 lioneyes 2537977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours started about a week before 4 months... he had been STTN and going down with no problem, but then it became hysteria at bedtime (had to CIO until I realized he was too tired and bedtime needed to move back an hour) and then also 3-4 night wake-ups where I had to go in and give him the paci (he was swaddled). It lasted like 2-3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2537975 Sun, 01 May 2016 07:03:42 +0000 Hoots 2537975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours started at 3 mos. and the worst lasted a few weeks. Pretty much up every hour. She still doesn't sleep like she used to at 5 mos. She has a few good nights, and then a string of bad ones. But I don't think the bad ones are part of the regression. Some of them have been gas, some have been colds, others diaper rash or reflux flare. If it's not one thing, its something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2537955 Sun, 01 May 2016 05:54:21 +0000 catomd00 2537955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours started right around 4 months and lasted for 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2537944 Sun, 01 May 2016 01:03:50 +0000 EBSC 2537944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a really bad week right at 4 months; up every 45 minutes for 4 or 5 nights in a row. Maybe more like a week? It was brutal, and hit right on time, but then passed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2537942 Sun, 01 May 2016 00:55:28 +0000 sapphire 2537942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had some sleep troubles between 5-6 months but LO popped her first teeth right at 6 months and it got better after that. I don't think we really had a 4 month regression. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/timing-of-4mo-sleep-regression#post-2537933 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 23:27:18 +0000 DesertDreams88 2537933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious for some HB stats.... wondering when the 4mo sleep regression hit exactly and how long it lasted. </p>
