4 Month sleep regression
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 just riding it out. We're been really blessed with sleep so her regression doesn't even put her in par with how bad her brother was

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!

Ugh YES. One night, we were up at 12,1, 2, 3, 4:30 and 7. She's now up 4 times a night, starting at 11. It's killing us slowly.

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.

We hit the sleep regression a couple weeks ago. He was sleeping 7 hour stretches and has switched to every 1.5-3 hours. It definitely hurts. We might start trying to sleep train now

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.

I haven't hit it yet but I know it's gonna come in a couple weeks! What is sleep easy? And are you doing okay with the ppd??
