My daughter is almost 6 months old, and ever since the 4-month sleep regression she hasn’t been able to connect sleep cycles on her own. She wakes every 45–60 minutes for both naps and overnight and needs help (dummy, patting, or rocking) to get back to sleep.
Did your baby eventually grow out of this? If so, when? Or did you have to sleep train? I’d love to hear what worked for you because I feel like we’ve been stuck in this cycle for almost 2 months and I’m honestly about to go crazy

I mostly breastfeed and only give bottles here and there, but the past few days she’s been randomly refusing the boob during the day. Night feeds are completely fine, she latches no problem, but daytime feeds are a nightmare now.She’ll feed for like 3–4 minutes max (if that) and then act done, but if I offer a bottle she’ll drink it, so I know she’s still hungry. Now I’m stressing that she’s starting to prefer the bottle 😩Has anyone else gone through this around 4 months? Is it just a phase? I genuinely thought breastfeeding was supposed to get easier by now, not harder 😩😩😩

For the past week my baby has been going down around 7–7:30pm like normal after a full feed, but then she wakes up after like 40 mins to an hour and is suddenly WIDE awake until around 10pm.

Before this she used to sleep so well — she’d go down around 7:30 and then only wake for feeds overnight.

Now every night is:
7:30 asleep
8:15 awake again
then refusing to properly go back to sleep for ages even though we keep everything dark, white noise on, low stimulation etc.

We try rocking her, settling her, sometimes feeding her, and she’ll look close to asleep but the second she goes in the bassinet she’s awake again 😩

Then randomly around 10pm she finally goes to sleep and after that she’s mostly fine apart from feeds.

Her last nap usually ends around 5pm so she’s awake about 2 hours before bed.

Is this just the 4 month sleep regression/false starts? Do I keep bedtime at 7–7:30 or should I move it later since she seems awake till 10 anyway?
