4month sleep regression tips?

Question

As I am sure sleep regression is what my 4 month old is going through, does any one have any tips or tricks or advice on how to help me or baby smoothly get past it?
Why I believe it’s a regression is due to him being all of a sudden terrible sleeper both bedtime and nap time, a terrible eater, fussy ( due to his terrible naps).
This mama is wanting her sleep back 🥱☕️

Answer

Oh girl I could’ve written this same post a few months ago.....  here’s my advice: hold that baby when that’s what they need. Yeah, you’re losing sleep. It is so hard. I managed it like this:
Keep working toward teaching them good sleep. I’d suggest keeping naps in the crib to make them comfortable in the space, keep watching wake windows. Wake window has been my guide through all of our issues. 
When that baby cries a certain “I need my mama” cry, HOLD THAT LITTLE HUMAN CLOSE!   They are learning about relationships and connections and it’s amazing. They have no other way to communicate other than tears. You’ll come to know that cry and you’ll just feel it in your gut that you need to hold them. 
Do It. Hold your baby. Rock and cuddle and snuggle and do all the things. That’s ok. They. Are. Babies. They need their parents. 
TBH I regret analyzing how much stress I put on myself about his sleep.

Answer

Give cuddles but try as much as you can to keep baby on schedule. Keep trying to put her down for naps and bedtime when she usually goes. You'll go through a few regressions and teething and it's going to be crappy, but they will all pass. For like the first 9 months of my son's life he would wake up for the day at 4 am. It was horrific, but now he's sleeping through the night until 6 or 7 (once almost 9).

Answer

Best advice IMO is to be patient and stay consistent to the normal routine. It will get them through it faster and won’t create new difficulties. Four month regression is when more permanent (use that loosely) sleep habits form so you really want to try to work through it instead of giving in, as harsh as that sounds... that doesn’t mean you have to let them cry or anything... still comfort them and all but make it short and sweet.  Get up ten times to do so if you have to but don’t necessarily rock them completely back to sleep or bring them to your bed, if that’s not something you want to keep doing long term. 
Just remember it’ll pass!
