How would you compare the severity of your LO's 4 month and 9 month regressions, if they went through them?
For us, the 4 month regression was horrendous and at 9 months she seems to be having trouble with her naps but her night sleep has been unaffected (knock on wood).
I've heard the 9 month regression tends to be worse so I'm bracing myself. Anyone care to share their experience?

The 9 month regression makes the 4 month seem like a vacation. It's horrible.

OMG. I didn't know there was a 9 month sleep regression!! Maybe that's what we're going through right now.... It's hell. I didn't even blink at 4 months so, 9 months is definitely worse.

4 month was torture because it affected his naps and lasted for TWO FREAKING months. 9 month regression was just a night waking or two for a couple weeks. It was a piece of cake in comparison.

Nothing will ever be worse than the 4 month. 2.5 months of hourly wake ups.
Last week or so she's been waking up 1-2x a night. And she just turned 10 months so I hope that was it!

We didn't have much of a 9 month sleep regression, but the 4 month one was rough. We had a few rough teething nights but nothing terrible.

Yikes! I didin't even know there was a 9 month regression! The 4 month one last for 2 months so I hope that doesn't happen again in a couple months. I don't think I could take it.

@Weagle: This scares me.
4 months was pretty bad, I'm not sure I could survive a regression that was worse than that one. Keeping my fingers crossed that this thing stays limited to rough naps!

Ugh, I don't even want to think about sleep regressions as we're going to have to stop rocking and feeding the baby back to sleep. I just hope that we can break the bad habit we've formed.

OMG there is a 9 month regression?!?!?!
The 4 month was HORRIBLE (like up every hour for a month and a half horrible). Hopefully since that one was so hard the 9 month won't be as bad. Hopefully.

Deep breaths! Sometimes you'll brace yourself and then nothing happens. I'd heard horror stories about 18 months ... and nada.

The 4 month was horrendous for us. He was waking up every 2 hours at night and we were going crazy.
The 9 month sleep regression was bad but it was only a couple of wakings and we were able to get through it.

I don't even wanna know about any 9-month regression. I am already stockpiling wine for the 4-month regression.

our four month regression was AWFUL - my LO got his first two teeth in the mddle of it, so that just added to the torture. LO just reached nine months, and no major sleep stuff to report yet, knock on wooden everything!!
