4 month sleep regression. My son wakes up like a newborn now. He won't sleep until midnight then last night he woke up at 2 am 5 am and 930. He went back to sleep all times but because I gave him a bottle because I thought he was hungry. Tonight it was time for him to eat after his bath so I gave him his milk and Layed him in his crib to sleep because I thought he was out for the night. Not even 20 minutes later he is awake in his crib. He's quiet so I'll wait and see if he falls back asleep. Did any of your babies do this? Is this a thing? I'm hoping it won't last long. Mind you forgetting to mention he did sleep through the night since 2 and a half months.

I wasn't fortunate enough to breastfeed him. He was in the nicu and didn't want to when it was time. Had to put him on formula. I tried pumping it was exhausting and I didn't get as much because he wouldn't nurse.

That's cool, let me know if it works! My girl REFUSES bottles but maybe when she learns how to use her sippy cut she can try that 😁

I gave him a little chamomile tea tonight in his bottle. Because of his teething as well. Hopefully he will sleep better. Poor baby. @hellosweetie

Well if he went back to sleep quick that's awesome 😄 just so you aren't afraid to feed him though, baby's his age are mentally unable to develop bad habits, when they cry for us it's for a reason they don't just cry because they want to manipulate....plenty of people have said oh you'll "spoil" by responding to her cry every time and nursing her back to sleep if she doesn't fall back asleep quickly, but every study I've read regarding that says babies who are under 6 months of age don't understand the concept of manipulation nor do they develop bad habits...they grow out of night feeds when they're ready to developmentally 😄 I'm not telling you that you must take my advice lol but just wanted to voice that so you don't feel bad if you feel like feeding him to sleep is happening too often or in case you have a mother or sometime telling you you're making bad habits, cause I had that problem and that's why I researched it lol

Yea the 4 month sleep regression is actually a thing, they are going through something new developmentally, they may become more clingy, wake more often, go down later, eat more...they're growing rapidly, physically and or mentally...my girl has been going through this, especially lately, but she seems to be coming out of it last night and tonight it's been better...we'll see if it lasts lol she's been sleeping 8 or more hours since around 2 months as well, so this was hard on me 😢 she's almost 5 months, will be on the 24th...just give extra cuddles, loves, and if he's hungry feed him because he may be requiring more nutrition right now to handle this growth spurt or whatever it is lol...it will pass in time, sorry I'm not much help, I just have been riding it out lol

I'm not sure because I'm still going through it. I can't remember much about my first born and his phases so I'm not help. I'm just sympathizing with you.
