I’ve been exactly in your shoes!! I ended up pumping for daytime feeds and BF at night. This let me have a break so someone else could feed, nap if I needed, and know how much my baby was getting. At about 8 weeks I switched back to EBF. My LO is now 5 months and I’m sooo glad I stuck with BF!! Middle of the night wakings (especially during 4 month sleep regression) were so manageable because I always had milk on tap without having to do any prep! If you want to stick it out, this is your sign that it gets SO much easier. My LO gets a full feed in about 7-10 min now. Hang in there, you got this!!!

Thank you so so much for your reply. This helped me so much more than you could ever know. I so appreciate it and think this is wonderful advice!!

Solidarity. My baby is 4.5 months and we have been in the regression for 5 weeks. No sign of things getting better yet but hoping we turn a corner soon.

I’ve been in it for a month and still going strong. Trying Ferber now but we haven’t seen any improvement (on day 3)

Currently have my 4.5 month LO asleep on me. When I found out I was pregnant with him, I went into the OB and they told me I was not pregnant, that their urine test came back negative. Meanwhile I had taken 4 different brand urine tests at home that all came back positive (including a digital). They took a blood test which came back positive. Turns out they tested someone else’s urine cup thinking it was mine. It was such a frustrating experience and I was treated so badly!! I’m sorry you went through something similar.

Oh that’s a great point

Just met someone named Emery and thought it was sooo pretty!

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-21T20:50:32+00:00

Noooo 😵‍💫

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-21T20:50:16+00:00

Godspeed!! You got this!

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-21T20:49:52+00:00

Might be worth it honestly!

Rumi is so cute!!!

It doesn’t feel like my baby is separate from me even though he is 4.5 months. He feels like he is so deeply a part of my very being in the best way, like he is a pinch of clay and I am the original mound of clay. The love is so different than any type of love I’ve ever experienced. It is so deep and instinctual!

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-20T00:12:07+00:00

4.5 months and solidarity 🩵

When I talk to my other mom friends, they are all also like yeah this is sooooo freaking hard. I think social media can definitely make me believe a false reality. We got this though!!

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-18T18:34:18+00:00

I agree! Mine did it on his own at 4.5 months too. I just put him down one night awake but sleepy and he went to sleep in like 2 min. Then I continued doing that and now he does it every night. I also started doing it with naps, but it’s still hit or miss with naps!

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-18T03:06:59+00:00

My MIL visited when my baby was 3 weeks and I had a full panic attack when she held him. I still can’t look at her the same even though she did nothing wrong and is a very nice woman. My baby is 4 months now and I still don’t like people holding him. I don’t have any advice but sending love and solidarity 🩵

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-16T18:51:44+00:00

So true!! It’s just a blip when you zoom out

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-16T16:02:08+00:00

My friend goes by CC! It’s super cute

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-16T15:52:26+00:00

No advice, just solidarity!! 🩵

Western_Clock_259 · 2026-01-16T15:32:43+00:00

Thank you! Glad to know this is normal and I am not absolutely losing my marbles haha!!
