4 month sleep regression?

Question

Is anybody going threw the 4 month sleep regression? My baby use to sleep 6-8 hours for me and went to bed at 8pm now she wants to go to bed at 6pm and wake up every 3 hours on the dot to eat. The other day she was up screaming until 3am because she was so tired but couldn't get into a deep sleep. Anybody have any suggestions how I can help my daughter threw this faze?

Answer

We just started this phase too 😩. She was sleeping 7-9 hours and now I lose track of how often she wakes up at night. We're going to start sleep training tonight. Our doctor told us we could start it at 4 months, which she is tomorrow. From the reading up I've done on this sleep regression, it basically doesn't go away unless you help them learn how to go to sleep on their own. It's their sleep cycles changing to become more "adult" so they need to learn that when they wake up, they can go back to sleep - like we would. If you don't help them learn that... The night waking could just continue.

It sucks though. I was so used to sleeping for long streches. I'm nervous about sleep training but everyone I know that has done it has said it was worth it.
