My 5month old is the same - has been sleeping through until recently when he’s been waking screaming like he’s in pain. I think it’s teething as chewing everything, has a rash on face and dribbling a lot. No teeth have come through yet but suspect they’re coming/moving underneath which is causing the pain. Nurofen has helped settle him.
I could’ve written this myself!! What is going on 😭😴🫠
@Dayna it’s awful isn’t it! Hes only had 2 naps today too, how is he not shattered?! 😂
A lot of ladies have experienced this judging by the comments I’ve seen. I think it’s a developmental phase they’ve got lots going on right now. No tips other than hopefully it’ll pass soon! X
@Lauren these are my thoughts exactly 😂 he’s currently sat laughing at me whilst I try and put him to bed too. 🫠🫠🫠🫠
Give this a read it really puts things in perspective https://sarahockwell-smith.com/2013/08/29/help-my-4-5-month-old-is-sleeping-like-a-newborn-again-aka-as-the-4-5-month-old-babies-from-hell/
@Danielle thank you so much, I needed to read that today!
I dont have any solutions but I’ve heard that the growth spurs, regressions etc can happen a bit earlier/later, and that girls seem to have them earlier and boys later. Meaning it is totally possible that it is the 4 month regression… if that’s the case patience is your best (and probably only) tool until it passes. Hugs!
