At four months old all babies may have a sleep regression. The reasons this occurs are as below:-
A 4-month sleep regression can occur because babies are in the midst of a major transition away from a newborn sleep pattern. That transition is not always smooth, and may have plateaus or setbacks like sleep regressions. There is typically no single cause for a 4-month sleep regression, but some contributing factors may include:
.Signs of 4-month sleep regression include difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking's, irritability, and reduced sleep duration.
To overcome sleep regression caregivers should encourage healthy sleep routines and habits for their baby.
If your infant wakes up during the night, keep the room dark and quiet to avoid stimulating them and gently encourage a return to sleep.
How to manage and cope with the sleep regression:-
Should I discuss the new night time waking with my doctor?
You only need to talk to your doctor if any of the following things are happening to your baby:-
Have realistic expectations and remember that it takes time for babies to develop stable sleep patterns. Many babies do not sleep through the night even at 12 months , so caregivers should avoid blaming themselves if their infant wakes up in the night. Self-care also includes considering tips to help parents get the sleep they need to feel more rested despite their baby’s sleep schedule.

I was inspired by an advert I saw on the TV about a Midnight mums group. I realised that this particular mum has lots of mummy friends in her circle of friends, who she asks for support with various issues. I realised that there are mums up and down the UK who do not have this sort of friendship support. So I decided to create a what's app group where mums can speak to other mums and support each other. I moderate this group as I come from an NHS background working for 7+ years as an infant feeding support worker, I also worked in the childcare sector as a Nursery Manager and childminder for 10+ yrs.
