Answer

15 weeks old. I’ll do a feed (I breastfeed) around 3:30-4p and keep her up until we do bedtime. Most nights it works out lol Around 7-8p I will get ready for bed and my husband will help get her diaper changed and in PJs. Sometimes she gets irritable so I’ll go right to feeding. Some nights I try to read to her before I feed because I like that in her routine but most nights it doesn’t work. We don’t do bath every night but throw that in there before she’s due to feed. She loves baths but then gets super fussy after (anyone have a trick to make that transition more pleasant?!) before PJs.

Answer

I’m not sure my little guys actually went through “the” regression yet, but we had about 2 weeks where they would wake up about every 2 hours, but we’re back to sleeping from 830-430 or 5 with one wake up about 130am to feed.
Our routine starts about 7. We tandem feed,  change diapers, get in PJs. We’ll play a little bit, and usually they have a “witching hour” from about 8-830, then they’re out. 
Depending on what time we go to sleep, I may wake them to eat with the hopes we don’t wake up for that 130am feed.

Answer

He has his bath between 6-6:30 depending on when his last nap was. Sing songs while he’s getting his sleeper on, goes in his sleepsack and then has a bottle and gets rocked to sleep. He’s asleep from usually 7 (give or take 20 mins) until 5-6 in the morning. The regression hasn’t seemed to hit us yet. He was getting up about an hour after going to bed for maybe a week but I would just rock him abit and then he’d be down for the night. Hoping this continues. 
My now 2 year old wasn’t effected by the regression much either.

Answer

We aren’t at 4 months yet she’s 15 weeks old and still sleeping thru the night 9-10 hrs depending. Hopefully we don’t regress lol she’s slept thru the night besides a dream feed at 2 am in the beginning. We start our routine around 8:30-9:00 we start to turn off lights and tv, we put her in a night gown fresh diaper and feed her a bottle and she usually falls asleep so then I turn on the white noise sound machine and place her in her bassinet. If we do a bath we do it early around 6-7pm she doesn’t like bath Time so I like to get it done early lol

Answer

My son has been waking up almost every 2 hours.at night. He'll be 19 weeks on Friday. Yesterday I had him nap for a total of 4 hours: 2, 1 1/2, and then 30 minutes. Then 3 hours after the last nap was bedtime. I decided to try the nested bean sleep sack last night (haven't used it for a month) and he only woke up twice which is an improvement. So I'm going to do the same thing today.
