Mom's of 4 month olds....
My DD will be 4 months old next week. She had been sleeping from 11:30 PM to almost 7:00 AM...however this has not been the case for the last week or so. She wakes at 3:30, 4:30 and then I finally just get up with her around 5:00. If I hold her she will usually go back to sleep. Sometimes I need to give her the gripe water for gas. And today I just gave up and fed her at 5:00.
Any suggestions? What are your 4 months olds like? Eating/Sleeping schedules?

Re: Mom's of 4 month olds....
DS may wake up at those times but he doesn't cry. He puts himself back to sleep or hangs out until I get him at 6:30. His last bottle is at 7pm before bed around 7:45/8.
How long do you wait before you go to her? She might be able to soothe herself if you give her some time.

Yes, I have noticed my DD is starting to wake up much earlier, but she only "complains" for a few minutes and falls back to sleep. I
I am trying to work on getting her into bed earlier, but for now she is taking her last bottle between 9:30-10, and is asleep by 10:30-11. She wakes up about 7:30 usually. During the day, she eats 6.5 ounces every 3-4 hours.
She will be 4 months on the 29th.

My DS just started waking up too. He wakes up but doesn't cry, he just talks to himself. But he won't fall back asleep without his pacifier so we have to get up a few times to give it to him. I dont know if I should just wait it out but I feel like he can hang out all night if he doesn't have his paci! I hope it's a phase.
ETA he will be 5 months on 1/28

DS is 3 months old. We start the bedtime routine around 8:30 (bath, bottle, book, bed). He's usually asleep by 9:30 or so. Most days, he'll sleep through the night (until around 6 or 7am) without a peep. Other days, he'll wake up and not sleep again till he gets his pacifier.
Usually, he won't need another bottle until at least about 4:30, at the very earliest.
Regardless, i'm 100% sure that it's just a phase and your DC will grow out of it soon  Pretty sure I saw on BabyCenter that as babies' brains develop, they sometimes wake up more often.

Thanks!!
I tried this with her and it worked at first. If I didn't give her the paci she would go back on her own. But after two days she would just cry to the point of needing to be picked up.

Thanks, OhBoyorGirl! I just increased her ounces today so hopefully that will help a bit.
Looks like our girls have the same bday
