4 month sleep regression??
Posting at 1:30 am, I am losing my mind. My 5.5mo has been in what seems to be the 4 month sleep regression still. For the past nearly 2 months we have been going through it over here.
My LO is exclusively breastfed and just cut her first tooth. She slept in a bassinet almost through the night starting at 2 months old and that lasted until she hit 3 months. After that she was waking every 30 minutes to an hour and would need rocked to sleep or have a few feeds throughout the night just to sleep, but still would wake often. I began doing co sleeping with the safe sleep 7 on those tough nights and she’s slept through the night any time we co slept. She wakes sometimes to feed but sleeps any where from 5-10 hours in bed with me.
During the day she sleeps 30 minutes to an hour in her crib in our room, totaling 3 naps with a 20 minutes cat nap sometimes before bed.
I just don’t know what to do. Crying it out is not an option for us. i will let her do a little protest cry before intervening and I’ve tried different sleep training methods which has helped her soothe herself to sleep for day time naps, but at night all she does is scream in her crib until picked up.
Teething, sleep regression, or is it something I’m not doing right? I don’t know anymore and I want her to be able to sleep comfortably and safely in a crib so she doesn’t get into any habits that will keep her stuck in my bed forever. I’m a first time mom, has anyone else dealt with something like this?
