Wonder Weeks (Do you follow the Leaps?)

Question

Are you starting or already in the depths of the 4th Leap? What typical symptoms is your baby experiencing?  I’ve read most babies become quite fussy and have sleep regression (resembling Newborn sleep behavior) but some parents don’t have any issues to report. 
I am welcoming personal thoughts and experiences.

Answer

We are a week in. She’s actually in a great mood, but won’t be put down for long. Also, she’s now awake longer during the day and naps are shorter. Night sleep is where we are really hurting - and by we I mean me. She’s always gone down easy and although she woke every 3 hrs or so to eat, she always went right back to sleep. Last night it took 2 hrs!!! To get her to sleep when it usually takes 10 min and then she was up 20 min later. She was sleeping fine in her bassinet, but now won’t sleep unless she’s next to me do we are back to bed sharing at least some portion of the night. And this can last for up to 6 weeks!!! Right when I was getting into the swing of being back at work! Luckily my company instituted a work from home policy for the next 2 weeks due to Coronavirus so at least I don’t have to commute and look presentable!

Answer

My baby has been waking every 2 hours to eat she sometimes has been sleeping 3 hours this week but not often and it takes me 3 hours to get her to sleep initially. I'm tired

Answer

My baby Shes been a great one, sleeps through the night since 4 weeks. But this leap is hitting us hard. I tried to transition her into her crib wasn’t happening so I let her sleep with us, but she gets really upset and fights her sleep sometimes even her naps and cry’s like if there’s no tomorrow. Eventually when she’s out she’s fine. But she is fighting her sleep so bad and it gets a bit stressful because she’s my first and she’s always been a great sleepy baby. We’re hoping she’ll stop fighting her naps and she goes back to putting herself to sleep again.

I haven been following. My daughter is in the midst of leap 4 and hasn’t really been displaying any of the  items listed in the app, although other leaps did line up with her behavior. I just have a happy, well slept noodle on my hands.

Answer

Naps are horrid lately 😖 she naps but after crying a lot and she wasn’t a crying baby before, she is not doing well went we go out she gets so fussy and yes she’s crying a lot lately and just want to be held but fusses either way...she used play by herself for an hr happily and now she can only be by herself for 15-20 mins she’s also spitting up a lot when she wasn’t doing this before, the good thing now is that she’s sleeping longer before her one night feed, she used to wake at 3-3:30 to eat but now she wakes at 6ish am and then goes back to sleep until 8 other than that she sleeps good.

Answer

It says were on day 3 but i honestly couldnt say hes my third but has always been a fussy baby screams all day long i have noticed more night wakings though for his dummy hes not been wanting any extra bottles at night. My other two i didnt notice any difference xx

Answer

We're in the midst of it. She was sleeping through the night and even before that she only woke up once per night and napped really well. 
Now she wakes up at least once a night, oftentimes twice and won't nap unless I'm holding her. She's also harder to put to sleep in general. And she's definitely a bit more clingy. 
All in all though she's a great baby. I can't really complain that my easy baby is just slightly less easy. 😅

Answer

Update:  baby girl’s leap starts tomorrow but she got a head start on Sunday’s Day Light Savings.  Little sleep already and we are both fussy pants😉

Answer

My boy is in the dead middle of leap 4 with 18 days left😭 yes sleep regression has taken us over, he usually sleeps 7-9 hours before waking for a bottle but now it’s every 3-4 hours again. Other than that he’s a pretty happy baby & is doing majority of the things mentioned on the app for leap 4 as in turning around to search for my voice, keeps his hand in his mouth, responds to his name, grabs at toys, & etc. We got his 4 month check up on the 16th so we’re excited about that (but so scared about the shots😭)

Answer

She's a bit more fussy than normal, and fights naptime. But she's still sleeping through the night. Hoping it doesn't change.
