Not to jinx us or anything...

The boys went through the four month sleep regression hardcore--they turned absolutely wild at bedtime and naptime and cried if I laid them in their cribs, couldn't self soothe, freaked out if I left the room before they were asleep, etc.

The past 3-4 days, I've been putting them down awake, and they've been self soothing with very little (if any) crying. they've been sleeping great, only waking once or twice at night, and really loving their sleep. (just like their mama!!!) It's been fantastic!

I really think we've turned the corner and pulled out of the sleep regression. I just wanted to post this to give some encouragement to all those mamas battling the four month sleep regression right now. You're in a really dark spot, but it WILL get better!!

 

Thanks for this post, it helps me to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. My twins used to take 2hr naps, but lately everything is like 45min long, my dd goes to bed at 6pm, and wakes up every hour up until midnight she talks/squacks and cries just a little bit. And, they both wake up twice/night to eat - that means I get up 4X/night! Argh!

 

Wow, that is great news! It only gets better from here! :Clap:

 

I remember turning that corner....true bliss! It was like, "Wow, twins are really fun and great!". It does only get better!

Thanks for sharing. It is nice to hear when such great things happen. I hope it keeps up.

 

:clapping: woohoo!!! Go Joel and Roman!

3-4mo was awful for me! Actually it didnt get better till 6mo. Sleep is good!!! I hope it continues!!

 

:banana: Yeah for sleep.

 

That's great! I had never heard of a 4 month sleep regression, but for the past month or so mine have been waking up every 3 hours to feed, all night long. I hope this is a 4 month thing!!

 

Thank you sooooo much for your post! I feel like you have described what has been going on here some days and appreciate knowing that I'm not alone.

 

Us too for our dd! I feel like they are newborns aagin, I was up like a zillion times for her last night! This has been going on for 5 days now.

Congrats!

I'm glad to hear that others have dealt with this too. We have good days and bad, but yesterday was a nap strike day, and I'm exhausted.

 

Yeah!!!
