Do ALL babies go through a 4 month sleep regression?

Question

Do all babies do through the 4 month sleep regression? What are some signs that it’s approaching? Can it happen early (like three months?) or is it likely just a growth spurt? Does it affect all sleep or just depends on the kid? (Like day and night or can it just be one) Just asking because my baby girl is 3 months and the past 3/4 days her daytime sleep has been horrible.

Answer

Mine did, but only for a week.

Answer

Mine didn’t. We did sleep training with Little Z’s and that helped a lot.

Answer

My son never had any kind of sleep regression - he's now 17 months

Answer

My first never did, my second sorta I guess.. but didn’t last long and didn’t happen again..

Answer

My first didn’t have any sleep regressions until she was 2 years old. My second has hit all the major sleep regressions like clockwork. They last a little bit then he sleeps well then another regression hits.

Answer

It depends on the kid. My son never went through a sleep regression, he actually started napping independently and sleeping better at 4 months. My daughter hit it around 3.5m, but only with nighttime sleep. She still napped pretty well, but went from sleeping closer to 7 hours straight to up every 2-3 hours.

Answer

Neither of my kids did. One is almost 4, and the other almost a 1.

Answer

My baby had it all during her month 4. We didn’t see it coming. Her sleep habits at night were terrible. She had very short naps throughout the day, would go to sleep at night around normal time, but would wake up at least 4 times throughout the night. My sleep deprivation was almost like the newborn sleep deprivation. Once she hit 5 months, things started to return back to normal. We also increased her bottle intake, found more things to do with her to keep her active during wake time, and stick with a feeding and nap schedule after that sleep regression started to digress.

Answer

Maybe. There were so many leaps, spurts, overstimulation and what not I honestly didn't notice. I only remember the leaps because it was like clockwork within the first year.

Answer

Mine didn’t. Even though my sister insisted she would. She was slightly fussier going down for naps around 5 months, but that was it.
