4 month sleep regression...your experiences

Ashley

Hi everyone! I know every baby is different, but for those who have been through it I was curious to hear your experiences.

I’m a STM but my first was such a horrible sleeper that I never noticed a difference at 4 months. But this LO has been sleeping through the night (8p-7a without a feed) since 5 weeks. We’ve had the occasional hiccup like when we transitioned out of the swaddle but for the most part she’s been pretty consistent. She turned 4 months today, but last night she was up at least 6 times. Sometimes I had to go in and rock or nurse her, other times she fell back asleep on her own. It just totally took me by surprise because she’s usually such a good sleeper. I’m assuming this is the dreaded 4 month sleep regression, and I guess we’ll see how tonight goes.

How long did it last for others? Did your LOs gradually decrease how many times they got up, or was it just that one night they went back to sleeping like usual?

Just trying to mentally prepare for this!!
