We pretty much did anything we could do to get through it (co-slept, cuddled a lot, nursed a lot) and I made sure to nap in the day when he napped!

How long has he been better? My almost 20 month old still took a little bit to get back to her normal sleep after getting sick the last time. Like maybe a few days to a week? We had a lot going on though.

We didn't deal with a four month regression specifically but for other regressions we put her down in her crib and then after a certain time coslept either using the pnp or not (in bed with us.) at 16m I sleep trained LO...but at that point I knew she already knew how to self soothe, she just didn't WANT to sleep. I know others around here have has success with sleep training at 4 months though!

The main thing was to walk LO to sleep (around the block as long as necessary). It worked for us and LO.

I'm sorry lady! DD has been hell for me tonight too. My magic merlin suit comes tomorrow though, so I'm praying that it'll help! Otherwise, I have no idea what I'm going to do! I hope your LO gives you a break soon. I'm right there with you.

Right there with you! Last night DS#2 woke up to nurse SIX times between 11 and 6! I'm exhausted. Tonight he made it from9:30 to 1:30 am. Longest stretch of sleep we've had in five days.....

Booze?

My son's sleep was crap from birth, so we just dealt with it however we could (swaddles, co-sleeping, white noise, etc) until he was 7.5 or 8 months. At that point I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and we sleep trained using a combination of Sleep Lady and Weissbluth.

We sleep trained Charlie at 4 1/2 months. It was life changing.

Olive I pretty much slept in the glider with her!

I voted other because, um, I don't remember?! Pretty sure we did a combo of breastfeeding, cobedding, and sleep training. After she weaned, regressions got much tougher and then we just had to grin and bear it. Around 11 months she was up every couple of hours at night for maybe a month. This was after sleeping through the night since 6 months, so we really were struggling. It gets so much better though!

We co-slept for about 3 weeks & then sleep trained. It helped a lot but her sleep is still not that good at 6.5 months.

Tried not to kill anyone? lol we just took it night by night. Sleep training was not a good idea for us during a regression though we tried a few nights. I mostly, cried, let her sleep in our bed & cried some more.

@dreamocracy: I read that too, about not making changes for temporary issues... But te problem for us was that none of the things we had been doing previously worked. If we did them we would have essentially been sleep training. Never did get how you're supposed to do that!

@Emsmems: hope so! I think my LO's schedule and maybe her internal clock just get kind of screwed up when she's sick, even though I try not to let it happen. Either way I hope it passes soon!
