Sleep training?

Question

My 5 month old son is ebf. For the last month,  he has been waking up every 2 hours.  I feed him and he eats and goes right back to sleep.  I'm really tired of having to get up every 2 hours. During the day he goes 3 hours without eating. He does fine going to sleep at bedtime. He has a good routine and I put him to sleep drowsy and he falls asleep quickly on his own. Any tips to get him to sleep longer stretching at night?

Answer

Sounds like he’s going through the 4 month sleep regression. Their sleep patterns change drastically around that time as they go from newborn sleep cycles to ‘adult’ sleep cycles. My son took about a month to get used to it as well and it was exhausting. They also go through some pretty big wonder weeks leaps around that time too. 
I don’t have a lot of advice, sometimes it’s just a matter of riding out the storm until it passes, but just wanted you to know what might be causing it

Answer

My son was every two hours until 6 months. It sucks but he’s waking to eat bc he needs the food. It’s not even recommended to sleep train before 6 months.

Answer

Sleep training to get longer stretches when 4mo baby wakes up hungry sounds cruel to me.

Answer

Yea that's what I thought.  But I don't think it would last this long.
