It started at 3 months and still sucks at almost 5. We do hourly-2 hour wakeups. It's awful. We're going to sleep train in a few weeks I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1531204 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 09:22:41 +0000 Lindsay05 1531204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That was about the time we sleep trained. We started with nap training and then did the night training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1531192 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 09:06:44 +0000 kml636 1531192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>four months was the worst sleep time for my LO. We took away her paci soon after because she would scream every time it fell out of her mouth. (then gave it back when she could put it in herself). Around 6 - 7 months sleep trained. Good luck mama !!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1531030 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 23:53:35 +0000 lamariniere 1531030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my son, sleep was just always miserable. My daughter is just a week younger than yours and her sleep has been going downhill since three months. I do put her down to sleep when she is already asleep, but she can fall asleep on her own. Currently, she's waking between 3-4 times per night to eat and goes right back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1531029 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 23:50:37 +0000 autumnlove 1531029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO found her thumb around the same time she started to STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1531025 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 23:46:04 +0000 HLK208 1531025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't as bad as what you're going through but still wasn't fun. From 2-4 months, she STTN and then that stopped instantly. She would wake every 2-3 hours to be nursed, every night, until she was 12 months old. By the time the 2am wake-up happened, I let her co-sleep and nursed until we had to wake up for the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1531015 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 23:25:52 +0000 Zbug 1531015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Things went downhill for us at four months. Still sucking at six. We are just doing WIO for now but keeping fingers crossed that it doesn't take forever. It has to get better eventually....right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1531000 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 23:03:08 +0000 delight 1531000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up until 4 months I always put her down after nursing to sleep, and she slept 8-10 hours. She was only getting up once, occasionally twice a night. Then right at 4 months she went through a couple weeks of getting up 3-5 tunes a night. At that point I decided to start putting her down awake cause it was already pretty crappy sleep. Sounds like you're already doing that. She gradually got better overnight and at 7 months she is now STTN 12-13 hours. Month 4 was definitely the worst for us, but looking back I can't really complain, I know many others have had it way worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530995 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:57:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 1530995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh? We were co-bedding because it was the only way he'd sleep at all. I was able to get some sleep, but he was still waking up to nurse every hour or two, but because he was right next to me I barely woke up. Naps were still really bad--he would only ever nap in my arms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530989 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:46:13 +0000 QBbride 1530989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby's sleep at 4 months was pretty much non-existent, thanks to the 4-month sleep regression :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530977 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 22:29:25 +0000 daniellemybelle 1530977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very bad. Ha.

Then it got bad again and then he started sttn at 13.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530269 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:33:45 +0000 heffalump 1530269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For both of my babies, the moment they learned to suck their thumbs they slept through the night. We are just lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530250 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:28:48 +0000 blackbird 1530250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, it turned into a shitshow around month 4 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530247 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:28:06 +0000 Mamasig 1530247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's just luck of the draw! Some babies sleep easily, others don't. Even if you do everything "right." DS' sleep was actually good at that age. He started STTN at around 4 months, and we rocked him to sleep. He started not STTN around 7 months. Those babies keep you guessing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530224 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:17:04 +0000 avivoca 1530224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terrrrrrible. She was sick for the entire fourth month, and now she's almost six months old and woke up 4 times last night. Prior to the regression, we were getting 2 wake-ups max. </p> <p>However, a few weeks ago, she was up every 1-2 hours and I was a zombie. It's getting better in slow, agonizing increments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530214 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:12:38 +0000 MapleMoose 1530214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO STTN starting around 5 weeks. Then the 4 month sleep regression hit and suddenly we have 6-8 wake ups overnight. Torture! I know what you are going through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530193 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:06:16 +0000 winniebee 1530193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bottle to sleep and usually 10 hours of overnight sleep with 1 wakeup. 30 minute naps (like 5 of them....). Started letting him fuss a little more at bedtime so he learned to fall asleep around 4 months and took him out of swaddle and rock n play. </p> <p>Sounds like you are doing everything right.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530177 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:01:57 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1530177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: how did you deAl? When did it stop?<br /> My two-year old doesn't STTN and i am beginning to wonder if we have bad genes..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530173 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 15:00:54 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1530173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: maybe, but replacing the pacifier only settles her every other time. The rest of the wake ups I have to nurse her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530160 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:58:48 +0000 illumina 1530160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it because she can't replace the pacifier by herself? We did the same things, getting LO to settle from awake very early on...but, she sucks her thumb, so it was always there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530155 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:58:13 +0000 Ash 1530155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 month sleep regression? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530151 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:57:25 +0000 hilsy85 1530151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>horrrrrribble. 30-40 minute "naps" that I rocked him to sleep for, and many many wakeups during the night (that I nursed him to sleep for). Bad all around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-babys-sleep-at-4-months#post-1530139 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 14:54:03 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1530139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...What was it like?</p> <p>My LO is four-months old and we have never put her down asleep, or even drowsy. Since day one she's been able to put herself down if she has a pacifier. We wanted to make sure we didn't make the same mistakes we did with DD#1 (rocking and nursing to sleep, transferring to bed while asleep).</p> <p>That being said, she still wakes every two hours at night, sometimes even more often. Last night she woke up 8 times over a 13-hour period.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong? All of you who have young infants STTN: tell me your ways!!!!!! </p>
