My son still is going through this. Some days I just wanna curl under the covers and scream. It's hard. Really really hard. We just want our sleep back. And he use to do that to, slam his legs down and wake himself up. I use to hold his legs when I would hold him and rock him to sleep even though it wouldn't do much when he was in his crib. If he starts to do that lean in and just hold them down and he will feel you. Use to help sometimes. Hope it gets better for you 😩

@mamatocam8516xo, yeah it's been 5 weeks of the regression I assume atleast that's what this is. I have never swaddles him in the day so I figured taking it away at night may not be terrible. But his comfort his rubbing his face and he ends up scratching it no matter how well I cut and file nails. And he slams his legs down and I think it wakes him. I know it's a phase it just is hard some days. Thank you 😊

Babies usually hit a 4 month sleep regression where they start to not sleep that can last anywhere between 4-6 weeks. It's really rough. :( their minds are so wired from starting to learn new things. My son had the 4 month regression, 6 month regression, 8 month and 10 month. It seems once they get out of one, it's good for a week or two then another one hits. My son is 11 months tomorrow and he is starting to get up every 3 hours again. I know it's rough after having sleep to not sleeping but it's a phase and they will get through it. I dropped the swaddle around 4 months as well, and he seemed to sleep better. You'll get through this mama ❤
