Did anyone else experience the ‘sleep regression’ in baby’s 4th month?

Question

Last week we came back home from an inter continental journey.. coincidentally it was the same day as my baby entered his 4th month. I am not sure if my baby is jet lagged or is going through the fourth month sleep regression (I thought that was a myth?) but he won’t sleep or let me sleep till 3 am every night. All tips/experiences welcome!

Answer

My baby’s whole lifetime has been a sleep regression 😂😅

Answer

My first did not, but he barely slept for the first 4 months and so he kind of did the reverse. At 4 months he started napping independently and sleeping better at night. My second was nearly sleeping through the night by 2m but at 4m hit the regression and it was awful

Answer

Both my kids did

Answer

My twins went through this. It was absolutely real for us. Try to maintain a consistent bedtime routine but ultimately it was time passing that made the difference. It will get better eventually. Hang in there.

Answer

My second and third both did. Second lasted til five months old. Third lasted til six and a half months old. They’d been sleeping through the night around 2-2.5 months old but once we hit 4 months we were back to three wake ups like newborn again 🤦‍♀️

Answer

Yes, worst 6 weeks of sleep for the entire family when my son would wake up 8-10 times a night 🤪 but we survived

Answer

Omg it is SO not a myth! 😆 very very rarely do babies avoid this and it’s usually because they’ve been out down awake for weeks already, often in bigger families with moms who are too busy to rock baby to sleep or babies who are on the go and out and about a lot and have learned to soothe/settle due to napping on the go.

Answer

Yes! My little boy hit his a few weeks ago and it's been a bit of a struggle at first. He doesn't go to be till about 10:30-11 and then wakes up at 2:30 to feed and the again at 5:30. Also he only naps for about 45 mins like 3 times a day. Last night was the first night in about 2.5 weeks he slept through the night so hopefully he's starting to get over his sleep regression. I know this wasn't much help in the way of tips,but hang in there momma cause it does get easier ❤️
