Anyone else’s baby still waking every 3 hours at night...? Just me..? 😩😭😨 This is pretty much standard for us. I will give him a month (at most) and I am going to gently sleep train him. |

I might start staying up a bit and then Dream feeding at ~1030 to encourage the longer stretch from 1030-330 or something like that. When she goes to bed at 7/730 I'm still up for at least half of that 5hr stretch so.... |

I can't wait to sleep train lol. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Once we confirm she hits double her birth weight (she was 13-13 at her 2mo check so I guarantee we'll be there at 4mo, she was 8-10 at birth) I will definitely be letting her fuss a bit first. However when she fully wakes up MOTN is when we have reflux issues so I'm also inclined to try to get her up right away. 😩 |

helloerrbody, we just recently moved from every 3 hours to one wake up around 4 months. Some nights she is still up twice but lately its been between 1 and 3 then back to sleep until we get up. I guess for us the 4 month sleep regression helped us!

I guess for us the 4 month sleep regression helped us! That's encouraging! Mine is 3.5 months. I put him down for the night sometime between 7:30 and 8:30 (depending on when his prior nap ended). I then typically do a dream feed when I get in bed around 10:30 to give me more time asleep before he wakes me again. But he is almost always waking up around 2am, again at 4 or 5, and then at 7. If I skip the dream feed, he wakes me at midnight. |

Oh, and about a week or so ago he gave me a 6 hour stretch which was EVERYTHING, but alas, it only happened the one night.

My 3.5 month old's is all over the place with sleep and it is such an awful mind game. She had a decent pattern going but lately (say the past 2 weeks) everything is gone and it just keeps getting worse. I changed up my diet and am wondering if that is part of it. She consistently goes to bed at 7/7:30 and wakes at 9:30/10 to eat. After that it is a free for all.
I appreciate threads like this because all the sleep sites say "your baby should be doing this" and it's been making me wonder if I've done something terribly wrong. As of this morning, I googled BabyWise because maybe she needs me to be more structured, but after reading some of the other sleep experiences here, perhaps I need to just chill.

As of this morning, I googled BabyWise because maybe she needs me to be more structured, but after reading some of the other sleep experiences here, perhaps I need to just chill. It is more likely the 4 month sleep regression. Welcome to the club! <sarcasm> I know we had some BAD sleep habits that started as a squishy newborn. One by one we broke those habits, first we got her to nap without being held (around 7 weeks which seams like a lifetime ago), then we moved her into the nursery but still in the rock n play, (8 weeks) then around 10 weeks we started putting her to sleep in the crib when we went to bed at midnight, and the last two-ish weeks we have started putting her to bed in her crib between 8-9. Now the habit we need to start breaking is pulling her into our bed after a lot of wakeups in the middle of the night. We go to bed around midnight and then she starts waking up between 2:30-3 and is up every hour or so until she gets into bed with us. So we need to figure out WHY she is waking up. The first one is because she is hungry, I don't think the others are but I could be wrong. I usually nurse overnight and maybe she just needs more than I can give her. Or it could just be the sleep regression. Who knows, sometimes babies are assholes. Last night I tried a dream feed at 11:30 before I went to bed. She still woke up at 3:00. *shrug* And 4... And 5... Then I pulled her into our bed and she pretty much slept until 9. |

aprilz81, we are living similar lives right now except for the 9 am sleep in! I am really big on creating good habits but desperate times call for desperate measures! This week, I've started putting her in bed with me when I see she is waking up every 30 minutes to 1 hour. It has saved my sanity a bit because I feel like I have a plan. I have a 3 year old and my husband travels a ton so I have to get sleep somehow. My son's 4 month sleep regression lasted until the night of his 6 month birthday, I have to remind myself of that a lot. My daughter is also an entirely different person, so I have to remember that too. I'm just getting a ton of stuff off my chest. Feels good to type it out. Tonight, I will know I'm not alone!

Nope, we are in it together we all need sleep! Faith is napping okay most days, some days great some days horrible. But she is still mostly happy during the day so I try to stay positive. Of course she will be in daycare in the next few weeks so I just want her happy when we have her. lol The overnight (really early morning) sleep is what we are really struggling with. |

My plan so far is to keep O in the RnP in our room until it's evident we're hitting the 4mo regression. Then we're going to work on getting her in the crib. She'll have to nap in the crib at daycare... So yeah.
But I am trying to move bed time up to nursing at like 7/715. So.. Yeah .. Sleep is just a shit show in this house.

Can I ask some advice since your babies are older than O? We are 11w2d old.
We're still struggling with some breakthrough reflux while sleeping, even in the RnP, even after being held for forever after being done eating at MOTN feeds.
I think solving this is really my key to better sleep and getting her in the crib with confidence.
Is this something that a reflux med would solve? Or do I need to wait for her to grow out of it and suffer shitty sleep until then? Idk. I feel lost and i love my ped but telling me, "it's just the immature muscle" does not give me warm and fuzzies now that I hace to be a functioning adult.

I'm not dealing with this now, but DS1 had reflux and Zantac (Ranitidine) helped A LOT. |
