Another 4 month sleep regression question..

[Samsgirl]

I think we may have started with this....

When your LO went through this....did they seem to be just tired all through the day and more grumpy than normal. She will only nap for 30 mins and then 30 mins later she seems tired again, I just wish she would nap for longer...

She also seems to be getting really overtired a lot quicker and easier than she was...like bathtime has become a nightmare again the last few days cos she just cries and is so overtired she wont have her bottle, even though she just had a nap like an hour before....So I just got as much milk as I could into her before she got upset again and then took her to bed...

She also woke a few times through night last night....she didnt cry and I didnt even need to go through to her but i could hear her on the monitor chatting away to herself....this is very unlike her..

Does this all sound familiar for the 4 month thing? xx

No advice re: sleep regressions as Oz has them alll the time lol But the only thing I have learnt in the last 18 months of parenting is that LOs will sleep and wake when they want to unfortunately. The only advice I can give is don't worry because they will always revert back to the norm sooner or later, and don't give up hope lol And also to stick with the same routine, because as just said, they will defo slip back into normal. Just when you think they won't, they do! Kids are here to drive us crazy I'm sure lol

Yeah sounds about right!! Harrison was much worse at night than during the day tbh but have a feeling it is teething too as now he sleeps thru for about 2-3 weeks and then has a flare up and doesnt sleep well at all at night for a few days then back to normal! All I wud suggest is attempt to resettle her after her 30 mins as eventually she will just continue to sleep longer!

I could have written that!! Sometimes I look at G and think your tired again - really??? But then she's back up as soon as she's down (or so it seems) and self settling has gone right out the bloody window!!! Xxx


On my iPhone - so cant see tickers
