My 3.5 month old is in the midst of the 4 month sleep regression. Previously, he had been capable of sleeping an initial 6-9 hours in the crib, but over the past week sleep has quickly deteriorated. At first, he started waking every 3-4 hours, then every 2 hours, then two nights ago he woke up EVERY. SINGLE HOUR. Shoot me.
Last night, he went down after a long fight at 8:30pm. He then woke up at 9:30, 10:30, 11:30... at which point we put him in the swing. He then slept until 3:30am, woke up to eat, then back down until 6:45am when he was up for the day. Hallelujah. Mama needed some sleep.
My question is: is it awful that I'm resorting to the swing for night sleep during this regression??? Anyone use the swing and then successfully got their baby back into the crib after the regression was over????
