You couldn’t sleep so baby won’t sleep?

Question

First time mom with so many questions, one of them being why would my baby not sleep properly at night?!
Well I ve had people telling me that if you couldn’t sleep properly at night during pregnancy baby won’t sleep either.
Is there any truth in this or is it just one of the myths following pregnancy and newborn.
Please share your experience and please give me some hope that baby will sleep and it will get better 😓 
Btw baby is 4 months and still wakes up 2-3 times, sometimes every hour in the night and is a little difficult to put back to sleep..and am exclusively breastfeeding

Answer

There is no truth to that, that doesn’t even make sense. That sounds like a pretty typical sleep pattern for a 4 month old. They do go through a sleep regression around 4 months so it might be partly that. Don’t listen to people who tell you your infant should be sleeping a certain way. My first didn’t sleep through the night consistently until he was 2 years old. Every kid is different.

Answer

Not a fact. Also, your baby’s sleep pattern sounds normal. Waking up every hour is a little excessive but the other just sounds average. My 3rd didn’t sleep through the night until I moved him to his room and crib after six months. My first two slept with me so that was different.

Answer

I couldn’t sleep at night cuz I was very uncomfortable. My daughter was kicking me the whole night! She has the same sleeping schedule after birth as well. But that’s not because of me not sleeping. That’s cuz she had developed her own pattern

Answer

I wouldn’t worry too much. Every child is different, plus they go through a sleep regression at 4 mths, which sounds like you may be in the middle of. We were blessed and my LO has always been a champ during evenings, waking about 3 times to nurse. Recently that has dropped to 2 times to nurse and that’s during sleep regression 😧 the only thing I really noticed during the regression were shorter naps during the day and more difficulty staying asleep/falling asleep during naptime.

Answer

Sounds like a myth lol
