'Baby’s brains do a lot of maturing during those first months and at 4 months they start to sleep more like adults do, with times of both deep and light sleep.'
My baby doesn’t sleep. I’m not surprised, really, since my first two babies didn’t sleep either. I think I did have some hope that this one would sleep a little better, but that hasn’t been the case. Even though he slept OK for the first few months, when month four rolled around, I could tell right away that we were entering into the dreaded four-month sleep regression and that all bets were off.
The struggle of the four-month sleep regression is so real. Luckily, we’re only having problems keeping our baby asleep. Most nights, I can get him down pretty easily. I did some no-cry sleep training with him starting around 10 weeks and he learned pretty quickly to put himself to sleep without crying as long as his belly is full. Keeping him asleep? Well, that’s a whole different story.
To be perfectly honest, I’m exhausted, and all of my best attempts haven’t come close to fixing our sleep problem, but there are a few things that are my lifeline during these sleepless nights. I also suggest casually tracking your baby’s feedings for a few days. Pay attention to how long they are going between feedings during the day. If they aren’t eating 8 to 10 times during their wakeful hours, they will make up for that at night. Encouraging your baby to eat more frequently during the day may help them to sleep better at night.
