4 month sleep regression?

[greenemami]

So what is this!? I keep reading about it, but never heard of it before. Ds is just past 4 months and is a great sleeper overall. He did have a week last week where he was up much more than usual (right before he learned to roll over). just curious! dd never slept s i wuldn't have noticed any regression, lol.

I love Moxie so much, and she has a great answer to what sleep regressions are, and why the term "regression" is kinda a misnomer:

Basically your baby's sleep patterns can change pretty drastically during developmental leaps.

Interesting. My little guy is 4.5months and the only difference I noticed was his little nap spurts this past weekend - only 30 mins or 45 mins a few times a day and then up one more time than usual during the night to eat. But the day after the short nap spurts, he slept 3 hours during one nap session and 2 hours during another at daycare. He just learned to roll over right before he turned 4 months old. Could he be going through another developmental phase? He REALLY wants to crawl and is trying his best to sit up. Maybe that's it?

This is all very interesting!

Oh my goodness! I love this and I'm gonna have to get that book! Thanks for sharing, mama!

I love the Wonder Weeks, and recommend it to pretty much everyone! It really helps to decipher fussy periods when there are no physical milestones that you can see being achieved.
