How bad was Leap 4?

Question

I’d like to hear about your experiences—good/bad/neutral about Leap 4(which starts around 15weeks). My LO is approaching it and I just want to be prepared. 
Other than Leap 1, all the other ones have been pretty manageable so far. I’m dreading Leap 4 though, especially not looking forward to sleep regression 😭😭😭

Answer

I'm in it right now with my babe (about two weeks? give or take) and have about 3 weeks to go... so far it hasn't been terrible. She just cries and screams on the floor trying dragging herself in circles trying to figure out how to figure out how to crawl. As for the sleep regression, she still sleeps pretty well between 10pm and 6am, but anytime outside of that is hit or miss. Her longest naps are 45 minutes, but usually they are barely 20 minutes and she gets over tried which is frustrating. She doesn't want to sleep because she would rather be awake taking stuff in and flailing around on the floor. 😅 
For me it just helps to try and redefine what she's doing in a more positive way. She's a baby and learning so much and at the end of the day, to me, her mental development is more important than me being tired. Just remember, babe is not trying to make your life harder or doing anything in spite of you. ♥️

I don’t think the authors of that book wrote it with the intention of creating fear and dread in mothers. The idea is to have a better understanding of what your child is going through. The completely normal, healthy, necessary development your child is going through. My son has gone through 7 of them and there’s only one that I could have identified without their leap calendar. It really is just normal baby behavior. They are fussy. Sometimes they need more sleep or cuddles. That’s just how it is.

So how did it go? I’m in leap 4 right now and I feel like I don’t know this baby. Lol. My easy breezy baby is a grumpy teenager. 
He still babbles and plays independently but if he’s sleepy he gets fussy, before the leap he would just fall asleep anywhere and wake up happy. Now he needs a transition like from the play mat to the crib to fall asleep. I mean it’s not terrible but he goes from “I’m ok” to “the world sucks and I need a nap yesterday!!” in like 3 seconds flat. 
Same with nursing/ eating. He goes from I’m enjoying this to get it away from me really fast.
