Title: 4 mo not sleeping :/ desperate for ideas?
Post by: Mjaz on December 18, 2011, 14:53:15 pm

Hi ladies,
This is #2, so I feel like I should remember what this is about...but ha, I don't.
"A" has been sleeping, since birth, like a champ.  Lately he's been doing 6 hours, nurses around 1am, and then another 6 hours.  Heaven.

Last Sunday something completely changed  - and all week he's been up EVERY TWO HOURS.  He doesn't seem particularly hungry, though sometimes I nurse him just to get back to bed!  (I am a completely exhausted wreck after a week of this.) 

Monday he had his 4 month vaccinations and his legs were sore, so we gave him some baby tylenol and he slept 11 hours straight....but then Tuesday right back to being up every 2 hours.  Do you think the tylenol helped him with something esle?  (teeth this early???)

I'm just wondering - is this a big growth spurt?  Is this sort of regression normal at this age?  What should I be doing other than riding it out?

Thanks so much.
Melinda

It sounds like his GS Melinda.  I would just feed feed and feed some more :)  Congrats on your new guy!  If he doesn't feed and go back to sleep, then I would do a routine check and other triaging.

Thanks Wendy.  Sorry I haven't responded - we have all had strep (minus the baby!) foe the holidays!  He got over it - went back to one NW for a few weeks
Just eats and back to sleep - and I was happy about thar.  This week he's been having 2-3 and won't go back to sleep without nursing!!!  Argh.  I'm feeling like death and he wants to nurse all night!   Thanks again Wendy!
