We have been in the throes of the 4 month sleep regression....Last night (the one night I did NOT put the purple J&J sleep lotion on her after bath) she slept 9:15 - 8am. WHAT? She is on her 2nd nap of the day and has been sleeping almost 3 hours.
Is this what these little sleep regression tricksters do? Torture you and then give you a taste of sanity, only to snatch it away again? Did your 4mos regressionist do this from time to time? I won't dare think it will repeat itself.

Have fun at 6m too. It all does go away though and then you regain sanity.

@sorrycharlie: I am so used to sleep madness and crap naps that when I posted this thread, I was actually kind of unsure what to do with myself. I had 3 solid hours to do stuff around the house and I looked at her sleeping on the monitor and just thought," I have no idea what to do now. I haven't had spare time in forever!" It was nice:). I'm sure she'll wake up 4x tonight:-)

I wonder if it's combined with a growth spurt? Where after days of fussiness and not sleeping, they have a few days of crazy long sleep.
Just enjoy the lengthy naps!

@sorrycharlie: Sounds like my dd's naps. She teased us with a couple weeks of consistent naps. They even lengthened to almost 2 hours!!!!! And then bam, back to the 45 minute (sometimes less) naps. What?! Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!

Yeah, DD is doing this to me right now. She's had like... three naps this morning already and she's never done this for me. Given, she's nearly 8 weeks old but still, I'm going "Who are you???" She hasn't napped like this ever. It kills me. She was the newborn who would not sleep.

We still go through this at 20 months. One week she eats great and loves meat. The next week, she will eat nothing but gold fish. One week she sleeps great until 6 am, the next week she's up twice a night and for the morning by 5am.

@sorrycharlie: Haha! I do that with workouts:). Put it off bc I know she'll never let me get through it and then I could have done it 3x over for the length of time she slept, haha. We just can't trust them.

Yesterday LO took a 3 hour nap! Wtf! If I'd have known he was going to nap that long I would have finished a work project, but I didn't want to start it and get interrupted.

We are having loads of fun at the moment with sleep. She'll be fast asleep and I try put her down then all of a sudden her legs are like windmills spinning round and that wakes her up. She doesn't nap for hours... HOURS!!!
