4 - 6 months 4 m regression is INSANE

Baby turning 4 months in three days and I am assuming we are in full on regression mode because he is now waking EVERY HOUR. I would KILL for a 3 hour stretch at this point.

How do people survive this? Is the only way little one will come out of it to sleep train? Or will he figure it out on his own with time? He doesn’t sleep independently fwiw.

i should’ve also said i didn’t do anything, he just came out of it on his own and also he was always a bad sleeper and never ever had a 5 hour stretch, and always needs rocking to fall asleep

the regression was really really bad, the hourly wakings plus broken naps plus crying after falling asleep (5-15 minutes into sleep), plus so hard to resettle, plus always crying in waking up (at night and naps), i don’t know how i survived

sorry, i should have clarified

my baby is now sleeping like this: 1st stretch 3h-4h depending on the night, second stretch 2h, third stretch 1h, fourth stretch 2h, up at 5 am, bedtime is 7 pm, total sleep in 24 hours including naps 13 hours, baby is 19w4d

sleep regression started 14w1d and ended at about 18.5 weeks
