1. I think we may still be in it? It's hard to tell. LO has never been a great napper but she recently started crying when we would put her down for naps, and would sometimes only sleep for 10 or 15 minutes. Bedtime used to be a breeze but these days it takes about 5 or 6 pacifier resets before she can fall asleep, and every other night she'll wake up every 2 or 3 hours needing a pacifier replacement. Last night she needed 1. But recently she was STTN so this is an unwelcome change for us

2. This has been going on for almost 2 weeks. LO is 4.5 months.

3. Can't help you here!

I too am confused about whether or not my LO is teething. She has started drooling a TON the last few days and will have these random crying outbursts maybe twice a day. She's been sucking on her hand but I don't see any teeth or swollen gums yet. I really want to sleep train but don't really want to do it while she's teething.

Hope your lo (and you!) can get some sleep soon!

@betsyboop: I hate to say it, but my LO has been drooling like MAD and grawing on everything since 4 months....he's 5 months and no teeth yet. Your situation sounds like classic regression : (

@betsyboop: Well, I think they probably are teething, but teething takes months! Apparently babies "teeth" for awhile before they actually cut a tooth!

She spent the entire month from 4-5 regressing as it were. More frequent night waking, eating more often, fussy for naps and sleep. We ended up spending a lot of time co-bedding for my sanity. At five months she suddenly became a good sleeper, was ready to not be swaddled and then a month later started sleeping through the night.

My very awesome baby STTN at 7 weeks, then stopped at 5 months. She also really changed the way she slept - much lighter and easier to wake up. She never ever went back to sleeping through the night. We're currently trying to night wean, which has meant that daddy goes down when she wakes (once) and spends the rest of the night snuggling with her in her floor bed. Hopefully that'll turn into her just STTN eventually, but at least I'm not up half the night nursing.

DD turned 4 months a week ago and my perfect little swaddled sleeper is long gone. She wakes up every hour I have no advice, just sympathy. We had to sto swaddling and we put her in a sleep sack.

lasted about a month and coincided with arrival of first TWO teeth (at 4 months - FML). ended with a painful session of cry it out, for my sanity, which now has things mostly back to normal. Hang in there!!!
