In the earlier months of my daughters life I had come across this reference to 4 month sleep regression. I took note of it but never thought much of it. My daughter was never been the best sleeper as it was so how much worse could it be even if it did happen. Oh dear, silly, foolish me. She is 1 week away from being 4 months old and I believe it has hit us. She will sleep pretty well from 7:30 -11:30, maybe waking once. After that though all bets are off. She is waking every 1-2 hours! That's not including how long it takes to get her back to sleep once she wakes up! I am exhausted and void of all forms of sleep..
The internet is pretty vague about how long this may last. Apparently anywhere from a week to indefinite. Indefinite?! Dear gawds I hope not. There must be a solution. I've already adjusted her sleep schedule to fit that of a 4 month old. She is down to only 3 naps a day and staying awake roughly 2 hours in between each nap. Which is kind of funny because she sleeps so well during her naps. So at least I get some relief..
Here is hoping we get things straightened out sooner than later. Until then I will make sure the coffee supply is well stocked!
