@PrincessBaby: omg, i would SO not wake her up!! haha. what you described is similar to what's been going on with L as well. He started STTN at 8 weeks, and has been good all along with only a few random nights here and there with a middle of night wake up. Well starting about 6 days ago now, he just started waking TWICE during the night for a feeding! Twice! even before he started STTN at 8 weeks, he had been down to one night waking. I am pretty sure this is "late" 4 month sleep regression (he will be 5 months next week). And like you, i've also been working on an earlier bedtime. Last night he went down at 8pm (omg!), woke up at midnight to eat and than was up at 6am for good, which overall was not bad.....so basically my theory is - if the baby is sleeping, let them! do what you need to do, because when they wake, it's all about them! lol

@hilsy85: i concur with the pumping. I've been doing that all along. as soon as L started STTN, i would wake up engorged and pump one side and feed him from the other. It's how I built my stash. When he wakes in the middle of the night, I just don't pump the next morning.

4 month sleep regression rocked our world and LO is almost 5 months and still waking up 2x. From what I read it's normal, i guess we were just spoiled because she was STTN weeks 9 - 15! I

Oh man, I don't want to hear this! DD's sleep has been wonderfully awesome and predictable. She's just about to turn 3 months, so I only have a little while left of this awesomeness? Maybe she'll skip the 4 month sleep regression? I can hope...

DD's 4 month sleep regression was awwwwwful (awake every 20 minutes LITERALLY all night), but it only lasted a few days. DS only had a couple of nights where he awoke at 12 and 2 for a paci.
Our only lingering effect is that DD now wakes at 4:30-5am for a bottle, instead of 6-6:30. That's really it, though, and it has been consistent.
