Screaming and crying

@Kerry I’ve held her on her tummy which does seem to settle her a bit more but not for long! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll give that a go! Thank you x

He doesnt always hold his legs like that but the general position of being supported like that seems to work a treat. Hope it helps. X

I take my little one to an osteopath. It settles him and his issues until he needs ‘resetting’. Ive been told its a 4 month regression thing where naps get shorter, feeding can be clustered and sleep for us is non existent. My LO has 2/3 20-30 minute naps and then when we go for a walk he sleeps for 2 hours. Then screams the house down just before bed.

I really could have written this myself - apart from my 3 year old is a cat rather than a human 😅 but she is hating all the crying and screaming! It’s so incredibly tough and for us it just suddenly started out of nowhere! I’m thinking it’s part of the 4 month sleep regression, and hopefully won’t last too long. The different things I’ve tried that sometimes work: - getting her in the car and taking her for a drive (she almost always falls asleep) - lying her down in her pram, putting my phone in there with pink noise on and putting down the snooze shade so it’s dark and pushing her back and forth until she settles - rocking her in my arms but sort of bouncing at the same time as that movement seems to soothe her. Do you try settling her back to sleep when she wakes up from her nap? I usually try with my girl and sometimes it does eventually work but can take around 10 mins to do. She‘ll then often sleep another 30-45 mins and wake up a lot more refreshed!

@Jules Haha sounds exactly the same! Good to know I’m not alone. For the past few days, I’ve just had to resort to getting her in the car and driving around aimlessly! Really don’t want to get into the habit of it though 🤦🏻‍♀️ lying her down in the pram with white noise and going for a walk works sometimes but it’s very hit and miss with how long she will stay asleep! I do the rocking and bouncing thing too. She also hates it if I stand still and rock her so I have to rock/bounce her as I’m walking around. These babies are such hard work at times! 😂 I try settling her and sometimes she’ll go back to sleep but again, it’s hit and miss. This has all just come out of nowhere! She seems like a completely different baby 😭 x

Going through the exact same, thought I was going to lose my mind today! I was worried she was ill but it makes sense to be the dreaded 4 month regression. @Samantha going to try this app! Xx
