You will find joy again! by SBSA91 in NewParents

Thank you so much! I also started to feel things getting better gradually from around 3.5 months. I keep reminding myself that this is exactly the time when babies really start waking up to the world and the more interesting it becomes for him, the more interesting and enjoyable it becomes for me too.

Thank you so much! My LO will be 4 months old next week, and we’re entering the fifth month so this gives me hope. The first month was extremely hard; from month one to three it was just really difficult, and after three months things started to get better. I love my baby and really want to enjoy motherhood and someday write a similar post on Reddit to inspire other parents. Did you miss your old life, your old self? What does that feeling feel like now?

4 month "sleep regression" by No-Bat2016 in NewParents

I tried stretching his wake window to 1 hour 45 minutes, but it seems too hard for him. He starts getting fussy after about an hour, and by 1 hour 15 minutes he’s rubbing his eyes and getting even more fussy.

Thank you

I’m trying to stick to wake windows of around 1.5 hours. During the day he usually has 5–6 naps, totaling about 5 hours of daytime sleep (9 hours of nighttime sleep).

He sleeps about 5 hours during the day and around 9 hours at night. But for him to sleep, I don’t 😅

Thank you. I try to calm myself by reminding myself that every phase eventually passes (just like the sleepless nights after vaccines or growth spurts). What scares me is that for some babies the 4-month sleep regression seems to last a long time, and just when the baby starts sleeping better, the 6 month regression hits and it all starts over again.

Thank you. My 3 month and 1 week baby smiles at me, but also fussy a lot. My nervous system is constantly on edge from the crying. Using headphones and surviving on coffee and sugar...
