T has been a great sleeper since birth (he's 3.5 months now). He always has slept all night even as a newborn. He would wake to nurse every 3 hours but go straight back to sleep. At 8 weeks he began STTN. We struggled with naps but eventually got it worked out. He started sleeping more during naps and started having a 4am MOTN wake up. No big deal though because he was such a happy baby.

Recently he's started fighting naps. Used to all we had to do was lay him on his tummy and he would pass slick out. Now he struggles and fights and cries (does this at daycare too, not just at home). I have to rock him to sleep and then lay him down and sometimes that doesn't even work. Now he won't hardly go down for bed. It used to be bath time, nurse, swaddle, rock,and he was out for the night. Now He fusses and fights (could be because he's not napping well anymore) until he just passes out. We put him in his crib but he's wide awake 2 hours later and ends up in bed with us for the rest of the night (won't sleep in his crib no matter how many times we rock/nurse/soothe him back to sleep), where he will wake up every 3 hours again to feed. It's making it hard to get ready for work in the mornings because he is so unpredictable. Getting out of bed wakes him up.

We're still getting plenty of sleep because I'm able to pop the boob in his mouth at night instead of getting up, but we're still up and down all night and anything sleep related is so stressful. I finally had to pass him off to DH to do bedtime tonight (it's usually mine and T's special alone time) because I was so tired of him kicking me.

He's a squirmy baby anyway. We swaddle him to keep his hands out of his face...otherwise he keeps himself awake, but he still raises his feet up and slams them down into the mattress repeatedly. It's kind of funny but he can't hardly ever settle himself to sleep. He's too wild! I don't know what I'm going to do when it's time to swaddle wean him...drug him I guess! Lol

Is this the 4 month regression early or am I doing something wrong?
