4 month sleep regression lifesaver

I honestly don’t know why this has such awful reviews on Amazon because this is my new lifesaver surviving the 4 month sleep regression. Yesterday I decided to turn on the music very low during his nap, and he actually went to sleep without fighting me for the first time in over a month, then he slept 2 full hours in his crib. Mind you, before yesterday he would only nap in his swing, and if I tried to put him down in his crib he’d only sleep for 30 minutes tops for naps.

Since it was so successful for his nap yesterday I decided to try it out last night for bedtime. I set the music on continuous mode on the lowest volume, and turned off the nightlight function and ceiling star function, and he slept for 12 hours straight. Even before his 4 month sleep regression, the longest we’ve ever been able to get him to sleep at night was 11 hours. During his sleep regression, however, he was waking up every night around 4am, then again at 6am. Last night my husband put him to sleep at 7:45pm with his Skip Hop soother turned on and he didn’t wake up until 8am this morning.🙌 We didn’t do anything else differently, so I have to give credit to this adorable little elephant. We also turn on his Lectrofan white noise machine every night.

On a side note, does anyone have a portable soother that has programmed music melodies (not just white noise) that they like? Well be traveling next month and I’d rather not have to bring this elephant along. Thanks!
