Moms & dads...any of u experiencing ur LO having sleep regression? What do u guys do?

Four-month sleep regression does happens and the reason behind it is because your baby’s sleep “matured”. Newly born, the only reasons why your baby needs to be awake is when he/she is hungry, feels uncomfortable (e.g., soiled diaper) or he/she simply doesn’t feel a need to sleep anymore. Within the first three months, as your baby grows, the frequency for night feeds decreases and hence, he/she will sleep for longer periods throughout the night. However, as your baby reaches around three to four months old, their sleep matures. Your baby starts to go through the different sleep stages that form the sleep cycle (approximately 120mins per cycle). Waking after each cycle is a normal way for the baby to check that he/she is still safe. Once your baby starts going through the four-month sleep regression, you can start the process of sleep training to help your baby get used to the sleep cycles. In the meantime, here are some tips to help encourage your baby to sleep more: - help your baby gets back to sleep after waking by doing things that you have been doing (e.g., feeding, rocking, holding) - swaddle or offer a pacifier to help calm and encourage the baby to sleep - offer a dream feed to help your baby sleep a little longer - ask people around you to help put the baby back to sleep while you get some rest yourself Here is an article with a section that offers useful tips to help your baby adjust if your baby is about three-four months but has yet to show signs of sleep regression: https://childsleepscience.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/the-four-month-sleep-regression-what-is-it-and-what-can-be-done-about-it/ And here’s another with some great tips on how to help move past this period: http://www.babysleepsite.com/baby-sleep-patterns/4-month-sleep-regression/ In all, most of my friends said that it will be a tiring phase (and it may happen again as baby grows). The key is to be patient and get help and support if needed! Take care!

Hi mommy, sleep regression can be a quite an experience but here are 2 tried and tested strategies that my circle of friends swear by: 1) You can try swaddling baby, if you are okay with the idea, offering a pacifier is good too. These techniques can help soothe your fussy baby, and to promote sleep. 2) Another way is to give baby a dream feed. This does not always work for all babies but it sure helps. Offering a dream feed and another one right before you go to bed might just help your baby sleep slightly longer. Hope this helps!
