I kindly appreciate the calmness of this video for all the on edge parents watching this video during their baby's 4 month sleep regression.

desperately watching this while my four month old won’t sleep for more than 40 mins throughout the night

I watched this video yesterday I’m not kidding when I say my son has not fought his sleep when I implemented some of the tips you gave. I took note of his wake window, stuck to a simple nap time routine and made sure his sleeping environment is set up perfectly and without distractions. He falls asleep within minutes!! I am amazed. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

You are my hero! My little guy just hit his sleep regression and it’s been hard, but this video is super informative and I like how calm you are. This makes me feel like I’m not doing it wrong as a parent.

This was a very thoughtfully made video! Thank you! We are in the midst of my son’s sleep regression and I’m feeling more encouraged than ever to help him learn how to sleep. Pray for us 😁🙏🏼💤

Baby boy is hitting that sleep regression right now! When he was younger, he would wake up, nappy change, play a bit if not hungry, feed, play again and sleep. It has been like that from 1m old to until sleep regression. I tried routines and a lot of things in there and obviously he was fighting sleep times and particularly crying a lot. Later on, I realised that it was not crying from fighting the sleep but rather he was hungry! That sleep regression also comes with increased appetite/need to feed (or a growth spurt or extra calories for the changes happening?), which I didn't realise straight away, as this crying before sleep was different from crying for food. So now I feed him before (sometimes I forget feeding!) and he is easier to put him down to sleep - still crying though but less! Maybe that would help too 😊

This. This is so helpful, been looking at so many sleep resources and tips but these are the most helpful that I’ve come across.

I’d appreciate a video on how you fully blacked out the nursery

I.am a father helping my wife through this regression period. This video has tremendously helped us. Thank you indeed.

We ended up co-sleeping to get through the 4 month regression. It helped us get through the 8 month one with barely a bump! White noise has been so useful too ☺️

We are right in the thick of sleep regression. We moved our daughter to her own room when she was 2 and a half months old only because both me and my wife caught covid and we didn't want her near us when we had our masks off. Thank goodness my daughter is a very good night sleeper but, her napping is the problem. I am going to try to do a combo of widening wake windows but, also she is about to start day care which I think will help her nap better.

Super great tips thanks mama

Thank you! My son had a rougher than normal week but it wasn't horrible until Saturday night when he woke up every 1.5 hours 😭 We worked hard to increase his wake windows Sunday during the day and turned his white noise machine up a notch or 2 Sunday night.... he slept the whole night again 🤯 No idea if he'll keep it up but I'm hoping so

Watching this and seeing my name pop up in the beginning. 😁👆

@simplemomming do you rock/ sush your baby to sleep or lay them down awake? Does that make a difference? How asleep are they when you put them down?

My baby has no problem falling asleep is staying asleep... she only naps 30 min I put her down by 7pm give her a dream feed at 11:00pm and around 4am a bottle. But she will stirr and wake up every hour or 2 hours so I'm using the paci for now. When does this end? My baby is 4.5 month

Not sure if you can help, my problem is actually getting my 4 month old to sleep, she screams uncontrollably for around 3 hours non stop every night, it started around 2 weeks ago, she wakes up once in the night for a bottle and goes straight back to sleep no issues. Not sure what to do but struggling a lot right now
