Here’s what you’re looking for …..How to help improve sleep during this regression!!! ⬇️
• Transition from 4 to 3 naps.
• Set up a consistent bedtime routine → This cues your baby’s brain that sleep is coming.
• Optimize the sleep environment → Dark room, white noise, cool temperature.
• Keep daytime sleep to 3-3.5 hours.
• Lots and lots of floor time to practice any new skills.
• Practice age-appropriate wake windows → At 4 months, that’s usually 1.5–2.5 hours between naps.
• Offer full feeds during the day every 2.5-3 (or more frequently if showing signs)→ Helps reduce unnecessary night waking and can rule out hunger!
• Give baby practice with independent sleep skills → Laying them down tired (not drowsy) but awake when possible. Practice is key!
• Respond with comfort → Reassurance and support during this transition are key.
The four-month regression isn’t just a “phase”! Actually, it’s a leap forward in your baby’s development. With gentle guidance, we can get sleep back on track!
