4th mental leap? *pulling hair out!!* aaargh!!!!

up until now Liam has been a baby who cried when: hungry. or... when he got overtired.

now?

now we cry one minute and laugh the next. literally, minutes apart.

he wants to nap all day, when he used to take (1) 2-2.5hr nap, (1) 1.5 hr nap and (1) 45min evening catnap.

now, he can nap 2.5 hours and within 30-45 min ready for another nap.

we've also decided we'd only eat at night time except for 1-2 feedings during the day. 😐

he was never a good eater first thing in the morning. maybe 2oz on a good day. but now we're refusing all but a half oz of our 2nd bottle as well.

bedtime is 8:00... but last few nights hes only made it til 7:30. then eats his dream feed at 10:30. and some nights wants to eat again by 2am. and again by 5am. then up for the day by 7 or 7:30.

we were sleeping from 8pm, wake at 5-6 for a feed and back to sleep til 7/8.

he hasn't really been affected by the wonder weeks thing in the past. but now? now I believe he's definitely in the midst of his 4th mental leap.

hes 20 weeks old today. and the sleep disruption started like 2 weeks ago and everything else started about 5 days ago and seems to be getting worse.

end in sight? I know there is, it just don't feel like it at the time.

anyone go thru any 4 month changes /wonder weeks?
