not much of a helpful post here, as we're just going through it now. but wanted to commiserate!

A went from sttn 12 hours to waking up 2-3x a couple of times last week, he's always been a horrible napper, and that hasn't changed at all. The last few nights he's woken up earlier than normal (after 10 hours) but I'm hoping we're getting back to our normal.

We didn't battle the the 4 or 6 month ones, but OH BOY did we go through the 9 month one. I let her go for 2.5 months before I gave in a we did CIO (which is how we sleep trained her at 6 months) for one night and she's been back to her old sleep since.

LO naturally went back to normal for the 4 month regression for night, but we had to nap train. It took less than 3 days. We had to sleep train for night and naps for the 9 month regression, but it only took one night and one nap.

@hilsy85: The 4 month one was non-existant and the 6 month one... like 2 weeks, maybe?

Ugh I'm wondering this. Naps have always been short. I thought we were doing good because last week he was sleeping all night but the last couple of nights he's been waking up a bunch again. It was every hour last night.

@zippylef: There's a 6 month regression?! And 9 month? How did I not know this.

@hilsy85: Almost 5.5 months. The regression lasted about 3 weeks for us. I'm convinced nap training helped though.

Our kids always come out of it on their own. We just have to try make sure not to build habits we don't want to continue (like cosleeping all night a lot of nights in a row) while we're giving them the extra attention they need to get through the rough patch.

We sleep trained to get through the 8/9 month regression. We did a gentle approach and it worked wonderfully.
