4 months and still scattered sleep

[gennarenee]

Hello friends,
My son was sleeping really well from 1-3 months, and then one night it fell apart. He was sleeping for 6 hours straight, feed, then slept for another 4 hours, feed, then one more hour. Now I'm lucky if he sleeps for 2 hours at a time. It has been about a month and he still sleeps from 45 minutes to 2 hours at a time. I'm starting to lose it and I feel awful not giving my son my best, and my husband.  We recently bought a house and I'm doing a lot of the fixes while my MIL watches the babe. Could this change in schedule and area cause this change in sleep pattern? Is this stress changing my breastmilk so he can't settle? I'm at the end of my rope and just don't know what to do. He's now 4 months going on 5 and hasn't slept like he used to. Any help, please!!!!

Hi and welcome. 

It's a common situation hun. Have you heard of the 4mo sleep regression? It's a prime time for sleep to go a little crazy. I think it's natures way of shaking things up a little once we think we've cracked it  .

Would you mind posting what the last couple of days looked like for me? Not what you're aiming for but in actual real time if that's ok, it gives us a better idea as to what's going. On and see if we can tweak something. Is he an independent sleeper hun? Xx
