4 Month sleep regression
Anyone hit the 4 Month sleep regression? I we have officially hit it this week. I've been up bawling my eyes out because I'm so exhausted. I used the sleep easy solution with my other kids at 8 months and it worked amazingly. I didn't want to have to start it so early with this baby but I think I have postpartum depression and I need sleep!!
I'm so nervous for this. I have heard so many horror stories. We have been sleep training Lucas since he was 2 months old so he now goes to bed awake and falls asleep on his own with minimal crying. I'm hoping since he is able to self-soothe the regression won't be too bad. He currently sleeps so well (10+ hrs straight) so I don't want anything to change!
It's awful! When my boys hit it they never went back to sleeping well again until I I tried to sleep train them. It was months and months of waking up 4 plus times a night. I feel like I don't have any other choice but to try some sort of sleep training.
The sleep easy solution is a book to help sleep train baby. It teaches them to self soothe. You put them down awake but go in the room in 5 minute intervals to help calm them but without picking them up. Both my boys started sleep through the night within 3 days of using this method. I haven't been officially diagnosed but I'm pretty sure I have ppd. I feel worse when I don't sleep. I don't have any negative feelings towards my daughter but I get intense rage quickly that is usually directed at my husband and I lash out more quickly at my two boys.
Oh no. Not looking forward to this.
