Do all babies go through the 4 month sleep regression?

parmaviolet · Apr 5th, 2012, 06:44 AM

My LO is coming up to 3 months and is sttn but I am alredy getting anxious about the 4 month sleep regression. Does it happen to all babies or is there a slim chance I might be lucky

I thought I had escaped it. At 4 months my LO started STTN, but alas come 5 months and his sleep has gone to pot! Its been 2 weeks now and his sleep is very random. SOme nights he will wake once while others 2,3,4,times. Just something I have to ride out.

From day 10 until 3.5 months LO used to wake up just once at night for a quick feed... But then suddenly she went to hourly feeds...

lasted for a month or so... Now still she's up once on a good night else twice..

We never had the four month sleep regression. LO STTN from 3-6 months but since then we have more nights where he wakes than where he doesn't. But there are a number of reasons for this I think - teething, being cold/warm, colds etc.

My LO was STTN from 9 weeks then as soon as she hit 17 weeks she woke every 2 hours at night. I was wrecked! It lasted 5 weeks.

My LO is 11 weeks and sleeps 9pm to about 5am, then a quick feed and back to sleep to about 7.30am. I too and praying that he doesn't regress as I am loving my proper nights of sleep. The first 7 weeks totally killed me!!

Our Lo is nearly 19 weeks and has been sleeping through since about 6 weeks... im hoping we might have skipped it!

17 weeks hit and my LO went from waking once to waking three times a night. Lasted until 20 weeks.

My lo has STTN since 7 weeks. She is 5.5months now and we've never noticed a growth spurt or sleep regression. She has always gone 12 hours between feeds at night and is super happy all day. We are very blessed

Aparently the terrible 2's will hit us hard LOL
