My lo just turned 4 months a few days ago and hello also regression! I'm kind of surprised this is happening cause he has always woke up when I layed him down for a nap or bed time and he always just goes right back to sleep but that's our luck! I would like to try to Ferber method or "controlled comfort" method. He just rolled for the first time yesterday so I think I'm going to stick him in a sleep sack now too instead of swaddling. He also gets hot a sweats when he cries so i think a sleep sack would keep him cooler during this transition. Maybe I can get both transitions done in one since be doesn't jump himself awake now. He has been sleeping 7-9.5 hours for well over a month now so I know besides growth spurts, night feedings isn't usually necessary any more for him. Any tips that have worked for you guys? Any advice?

I love the Halo sleep sacks, they cover the legs but let the arms be free. You can try unswaddling one arm at a time too. Night feedings are not necessary if he is gaining weight properly but most babies need them until close to a year. They aren't meant to sleep through the night until after a year, it's a defense mechanism. And personally I wouldn't do any type of sleep training, Ferber or otherwise until 6 months. They don't understand that until then. For now they are too tiny to comprehend it and cry when they need their mom. Good luck hun, it gets easier, I promise!
He hasn't wanted night feedings for almost 2months thought so I know he's only waking up cause he doesn't know how to get himself back to sleep ya know? And yes we have the halo sacks and I hope he likes them! He isn't swaddled at nap time so I think he should do okay with it at night as well:) thank you
