With my daughter, it happened at more like 3.5 months. She went from waking only once, maybe twice a night to every 2 hours or less....for the next 11 months !

My son was a crap sleeper from day 1, so I didn't notice any difference.

DS1 - didn't notice at all.
DS4 - it was horrific for a few weeks. We had to get "tough" about it to put an end to it. It wasn't fun at all.

I don't remember it with E but we co-slept full time, so if he woke up/woke me up it was just for a few seconds.

We're having a harder time with G. She's up every two hours every night, and she's starting to teeth on top of it. And her naps during the day are terrible. There are some days where she only naps for 20-30 minutes, twice a day. There is not enough coffee in the world to make me feel rested. She'll be 5 months next week.

My first skipped it. With my second I was pregnant again and had a dramatic decrease in supply and she went from sleeping through the night to eating 2-3 times over night. I'm not sure if it was the regression or hunger. as soon as we got her on solid she went back to STTN.
My third turned four months yesterday and so far so good.

Nothing for my first two but months 4-7 were kinda bad for LO 3. She started sleeping much better at 7 months.

@lovehoneybee: Sounds like we have the same baby!

Yes. DS has never been a good sleeper but he finally started giving us 5 hour stretches at about 3.5 months. It was a glorious two weeks We recently did some sleep training at 9 months and it's gotten much better.

DS went from sleeping though the night from 3-4 months old, to waking up every hour. It was horrible. I think he is the king of the sleep regression. We are now deeply in the midst of the 2 year... Yet another doozie.

Went from disastrous to catastrophic at 4 months. Hope your experience is better!

@pachamama: It definitely happened, and his sleep patterns were drastically disturbed (night sleep only). But it ended as quickly as it started. Nothing lasting, went right back to normal.

Yes for both. My first also entered a 6 week cat nap phase. My second had the cat nap phasetoo but it lasted 4 months

With LO1: It was early, never stopped, and was terrible. She went from 1-2 wakeups a night to 6-8 which continued until we sleep trained after she was 6 months. Even after sleep training, she had 1-2 wakeups a night.

LO2: blip on the radar. Maybe 3 nights of more frequent wakeups and then back to her usual 1-2 wakeups.
