Early sleep regression at 12 weeks?
My LO used to sleep in 4-5 hours stretch but last night woke up every 2 hours and napped less during the day.. is it early sleep regression like the 4th month regression? Or baby will have another one at 4th month too..
My girl went through something similar around that age, and from what I have read and heard from other mums, the 4-month regression can sometimes start a little early around 10 to 12 weeks rather than exactly at 16 weeks. It is hard to say for sure whether this is it or just a growth spurt, since both can cause the same kind of disrupted sleep pattern. Even if this is an early version of it, some babies do seem to have another rough patch closer to the actual 4-month mark, so it is worth being prepared that sleep may not fully settle in one go. The good news is that most mums here find it does pass after a week or two, so hang in there and rest when you can.
