Sleep regression
Show your support
Mine wakes up super happy and energetic at 2-3 am and I just look at her like I just want you to go back to sleep you precious angel who’s way to happy in the middle of the night 😭
@Kiran oh mine does too! He has a bright smile when he sees me. But the sleep deprivation is challenging my mental state😢
I just change her diaper and feed her and she goes back to sleep nice and cozy in her swaddle, if that doesn’t work I just let her arms loose and let her play until she falls asleep on her own
We are dealing with the same. Naps are very hard and short! Or he won’t sleep at all unless he is held. Even then, he will randomly whine and cry until you rock him a little back to sleep. Definitely running off caffeine in this house and so glad it’s the weekend so my husband can take a night shift lol
@Kiran i tried letting him self soothe himself to sleep, but he’ll just groan while rolling on his side for 20minutes until cries out loud to be held
@Megan exactly know the feeling! My boy only naps being held. I can get him to nap in his crib maybe once a day but it’ll only be 20-30min max.
I got the little Einstein aquarium for her crib, it keeps her busy with the toys moving and sound. It also comes with a remote so you don’t have to get up to turn it on. If they can’t see you they won’t cry for you?? Idk just a thought. She’s also fussy when it’s cold so I sometimes just bring her into the bed with us and she goes back to sleep because she’s warm again
Same here—but, in a FB group I’m in, I just learned some babies who fight their sleep right now, like a hand or a burp cloth *always supervised* over their eyes until they fall asleep and then you take it off once they’re down. I’m gonna try it tomorrow! Wishing everyone luck with this milestone.
@Jaquioh thanks for the advice! Good luck to you !
I’m currently going through this with my little one, she is up 3-4 times a night with rocking to sleep, I will wake up for her feed and then place her back down and I feel like I just crawl back into bed and she’s up again. Unfortunately mama there is nothing we can do but fight through it ❤️
We’re going through the same issue currently, my baby boy is also 4 months. They say there’s no such solution to help with their sleep regression, you just have to make through. Stick to your normal night routine and make sure while you feed and rock him at night - to not turn on any lights.
