Adjusted age/ 4 month regression ?

Question

So according to the wonder weeks we’re not due for the regression for another week or two (Going off due date). We finally had 3 solid full nights if sleep and then last night for the first time in about a month he woke up at like 1:00 am and he wasn’t just fussing he was piiiissed. I haven’t had to feed him earlier than 4:00am so I’m assuming we’re entering the regression. 
He was 6.5 weeks early born June 5th but was due July 20th 🤷🏼‍♀️ 
How do we survive? Do I maintain our bedtime routine/ daytime routine? Do I hold him more because he’s learning etc? We’ve been trying to work on self soothing but i feel like right now it’s going nowhere. Or do we just brace ourselves and survive? 😂
Any suggestions are welcome!

Answer

Keep your night time routine and top up your Starbucks card. 😉😊

Answer

Keep your routine as close to what you did before as you can. My lo also a preemie born 6.5 weeks early too (she will be 6 months on Sat) 4 month adjusted went through it for a few weeks and I think we’re just getting out of it now. There were a few times at night I had to give her a bottle to help calm her but remember this is temporary and shall pass too.

Answer

Like everyone else said keep your routine but don’t feel bad if LO needs some extra snuggles or an extra feeding during the night. It’s tough, my girl was up every 1-1.5 hours and there was lots of crying but I just kept reminding myself that it won’t last forever. Now we are down to waking up at 1am for a feed and up again at 5am. It’s still not her solid 7-8 hours but I’ll take it😂 
Just remember that you got this and pass off some of the nightly duties if you can! I kept at least one night feed worth of breast milk in the fridge for hubby to give. It was super helpful when I had gone a few nights with awful sleep.

Answer

I’d try to maintain as best as possible while giving in when it just doesn’t work. It’s such a grey area!

Answer

Keep your routine, do everything you’ve been doing. They say a regression is a good thing because it shows they are developing. It’s tough not gonna lie! I think we are on week 3-4 on regression. I have had to give a middle of the night bottle in a long time but I’ve had to a few times with this regression but he’s finally getting back to the way he was 🙌🏼 just do your routine and do what you need to to survive this regression

Answer

Ugh my baby has been having 3 bottles between 12am and 6am. I thought he would be sleeping through the night by now. Hopefully soon he’ll sleep 4 to 5 hours a night. He will be 4 months in a couple of days
