Has anyone survived the 4 month sleep regression?

Answer

I would like to say we are over it now but I am not even 100% sure what we had was IT. For 2 weeks she kept waking up every hour or even 20-30 mins after the night feed. She was 3.5 months. It was the worst timing possible, just around Christmas and NY with family coming in town for the holidays. One night was particularly bad with her waking on the hour from 2am till 8am. 
We just kept our routine as much as possible, didn’t pick her up, just gave her the paci and turned the sound machine. Now at 4months, 1 week, we seem to be back to normal. 
I just hope that was it and there isn’t a second monster wave down the road.

Answer

My 4mo finally slept through the night again last night after 2 weeks of waking multiple times. Of course, we had the bright idea to transition her to her crib right before it all started (she was getting too big for her Rock N Play, but also sleeping through the night in it for over 2 months now). 
Eventually, after talking to her doctor about it, I stopped going into her room when she woke up overnight. I’ve never been a big fan of CIO methods but I was getting desperate. Lo and behold, she cried for like 5 minutes before falling back asleep on her own. (Her pediatrician told us to give her 15-20mins to try to settle herself before going in to comfort her.) 
As soon as we let her self soothe, the number of times she woke began to decrease. She woke up crying twice the night before last, but her cries only lasted 3 minutes both times. And last night, she slept completely through from 8pm to 6:45am!
Now to work on naps in the crib...😒

Answer

We started the regression a few weeks ago and it improved and now made an ugly come back this week. My daughter has been waking every 1.5-2 hours for three of the last four nights. We’ve nailed our nap schedule so I’m really hoping the nights improve soon and it’s just a matter of time. Mama is tired 😭😴

Answer

Just went through the 4 month sleep regression, lasted 2 weeks of baby getting up every 2 hours. I stuck through her original routine as close as possible with the exception of not letting her sleep after 5pm. She does wake up earlier now though. Her schedule is wake up at 6am and eat, nap at 8am, wake up at 10am-eat, up and play until noon, nap until 2-eat&play; until 3pm and nap until 5pm. She eats again at 6pm, gets a bath at 6:30pm (every night) and then she is in bed by 7:00pm and sleeps until 6am.

Answer

My daughter has never slept through the night or taken longer than 30 minute naps. She's still getting up every 2-4 hours every night.

Answer

My son sleeps all night however takes a ton of cat naps during the day thats like 10 to 15 mins here and there lol so im grateful for him sleeping through the night because when he first came home I was so sleep deprived ! Lol

Answer

My twins are improving but not near as good as they were sleeping before the regression. They use to sleep about 8 hours then eat and sleep another 3. Then went to waking up every 30 minutes or hour through the night! Now we’re getting them to do one 4 hour stretch then they wake every hour or 2 after that.
