Worst night ever - 4 month growth spurt??

Happy · Jul 13th, 2009, 05:01 AM

Phoebe has always been a really good sleeper but the last 2 nights have been awful. Last night she was waking every 2 hours, when we fed her she would drain an 8oz bottle fall asleep again for 2 hours wake up and want more

. She had 20 oz last night from 11pm until 5am. I have tried putting her dummy back in which works for around 40 minutes and then she wakes up again.

I'm at a loss with what to do and i'm so tired, could she be having her 4 month growth spurt? She is teething quite badly and she still has the newborn startle reflex that seems to have got worse since we moved her into her cot a few weeks ago, no matter how cozy I try to make her she still wakes her self up by jumping.

Sorry for moaning

Just wanted to offer hugs, got no advice as I seem to be going through the same with Olivia at the minute xxx

Poppy did the same at 4 months. Back to a new born night routine!! Luckily it only lasted two nights. God did i feel wrecked after it though...

yeah, Finn had a rough couple of nights too. There was no 4 month growth spurt mentioned, but I'm sure he had one!

We're having a simular problem at the moment, Liam seems go down at about 9, to wake at about 4 or 5 cry, we leave him and he goes back to sleep for a bit and repeats, then he finally wakes about 6-6.30, it is hard when we are used to him sleeping until about 7-7.30, been going on for about a week now.

I'm hoping it is just a result of his body getting used to him having some proper food (mainly fruit & veg) and a growth spurt and he will settle down soon

Im also having this issue and I asked previously what the growth spurt ages are (noone replied

) Ben has been having baby rice and I also hope it him 'getting used to it' but he is drinking like its gone out of style and waking soooo often - I miss the little sleep I had lol!

Sending you big hugs

Happy · Jul 14th, 2009, 16:29 PM

We did when she was younger but she wont sleep swaddled now she gets really mad and wriggles all over the place.

Liam started waking in the night around 3 and a half months, started weaning him and he went back into his normal rountine and all hell kicked of when he was 5 +1/2 months just now got him back into his old rountine and hes 7+ months!

Happy · Jul 15th, 2009, 03:25 AM

Last night was just as bad this is now the 3rd night in a row and i feel like a zombie i'm so tired. I did think about weaning but i'm not too sure if its a bit early yet. I cant believe we have taken such a backwards step.
