Hardest leap so far?

Question

We’re just 3 days away from leap 4...what I read is it’s the worst one and longest? 
I’m nervous!! 
How did you all survive leap 4? What helped you and your baby..any tips?

Answer

I think every baby is different. I’m 11 days in to leap 4 and it hasn’t been too bad YET. Naps are a little more difficult, but not terrible. The one thing I’ve noticed more than anything is that she constantly wants to be entertained. She used to be content in her chair for a while, and I would get things done, but not anymore. She wants to walk around and be talked to. For me, leap 3 was worse, but like I said all babies are different and it could just not have hit us hard yet. There 2 different fussy phases in this leap, one between 14-17 weeks and the second at 19. My daughter is 16 weeks today. We still have 24 more days in this leap, so hopefully things don’t change for the worse.

Answer

We are currently in the middle of it, think we have at least another 2 weeks to go. 
I know there are some harrowing stories out there, but it hasn’t been that bad for us. 
She also hit a sleep regression and we think she’s teething too. So, all things considered, she’s doing pretty ok. 
She gets fussy sometimes, some times she cries for no reason, and it’s difficult most nights to put her to sleep. 
It’s good to be prepared mentally for the worst, and it helps to remember that they’re going through some major changes and developments. The only thing they want is attention and cuddles from you ❤️
It also seems like our LO wants to DO more. She’s enjoying being walked around and shown things, she wants to be held up and pretend-walk etc. 
Either way, this is a phase and it will pass, whatever happens.

Answer

I have no advice - I’m a zombie 🧟‍♀️ all my energy has gone, my baby wakes every hour from midnight and I’m running on about 3hrs sleep a night! On night 11 now and I’m struggling 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Answer

We have 11 days left of Leap 4 and the hardest for us has been night time, but even then it isn’t “too bad.”  She also knows when me or her father aren’t holding her so if someone else tries to hold her she screams and cries hysterically.

Answer

We only have two weeks left and for us it’s the teething that’s killing us more than the sleep. My girl is still sleeping through the night fully. 🙌 she is teething like crazy though but other than that she has been a happy camper. Every baby is different.

Answer

No tips, just be prepared for everything to change. Going through it right now and shes a total different baby sigh 😔

Answer

We got just over a week left and honestly leap 3 was WAY worse!

Answer

We have just under a week left in this leap. I have to say we didn't notice anything different during daytime in the first 3 weeks (at night we have a bad case of sleep regression). However, since last week, Theo needs more attention and is fuzzier than usual. But it's very manageable overall... Still I hope to have my happy baby back in a week!
