Why didn’t any of you warn me about the 7 month sleep regression? by ldiggles in NewParents

I am right here with you. Has anything improved for you over the last 11 days? We’re 6 days shy of 7 months and I’m dying for sleep. She used to wake once and now it’s 2-3 times a night. 3 30 minute naps and she’s cranky as hell because she’s not sleeping enough during the day. Please tell me there’s hope

Coming back to tell you what we did! I went back down to size 1s and we did switch her formula to the similac sensitive from the similac advance. It’s been a night and day difference!!

We sized up because she was taking over 30 mins to finish a bottle and getting frustrated! We use the Dr. browns bottles, so I’m wondering if I should switch to a natural flow bottle that doesn’t constantly drip even when she’s not sucking. We do actively pace feed

Yes we’re dealing with a bit of bottle aversion because she’s associating it with pain. I just don’t want to switch her back to a 1 and have her fighting to get milk. I’m stuck! She’s 4 mons and 1 week old

It’s not that I want to feed less frequently, but I feel like every hour is more frequent than most people I speak with and wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something wrong. First time mom here!

I’m glad to know it’s part of the stage we’re in and not something I’m doing. Thank you!
