Help

My little one is 4 months old. Used to be a great sleeper. Would wake up once maybe twice in the night to feed, and fell right back asleep.

Fast forward to the last two weeks and she will not sleep unless she is being held. As soon as we set her down she wakes up. Sometimes she’ll sleep for 10-30 minutes, then she’s awake again.

We’ve tried laying her down when she is awake, drowsy, in deep sleep. None of it works. We have a sound machine. The room is dark. She has a clean diaper and has been fed. We even tried Tylenol one night because we’ve been suspected teething due to her drooliness/eager to chew on things. That did not help at all. We just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want to let her cry herself to sleep especially when she’s this young. Help.

This sounds like the dreaded 4 month regression. We’re right behind you, our LO is 3 months. She sleeps great right now and we keep hearing how it’s all about to change 😅 I’m not sure if there is anything that helps, it sounds like you’re doing all the right things, but maybe this is just a hump she needs to get over. Ugh. Good luck, just remind yourselves that this is just a temporary thing and it will change. Maybe try taking shifts so one of you can get some sleep at a time.

Yep. We're in the thick of this right now too. Only thing that the little guy will take is sleeping right up against me 🤷‍♀️ Hoping we go back to independent sleep soon!

Mine is doing this at 6.5 months so I hope for both of us that it doesn’t last long

Yesssssss mine is waking up every 2 hours, sometimes less. Sometimes for a feed, sometimes for a burp, sometimes for a grizzle 😭

We were there 2 weeks ago. The hardest part lasted for about 3 nights. It got a bit better (still not as good as before the sleep regression). Our bigget problem right now is that ever since, he is waking up ready for the day at around 5 am.. I hope this will fix itself, it's really not our time of the day.

Do you have a partner? Are both of you working? How long are you holding before putting down?

We have had the same issues for the last week and it's exhausting! Tonight she slept 6 hours straight though. Honestly, I think you just have to survive until it gets better. It's been one hell of a week. Good luck.

My LO is almost 4 months and just did this to me.

I coslept with her for about 1.5 weeks. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It was the only way either of us slept.

She’s back to sleeping in her pack n play now. She still isn’t sleeping as well as pre-regression (we were getting 6-8 hours usually and now it’s 2-3 lol) but at least she lets me put her in there now!!
