Sleep regression or normal

Hi mummies, how do i know if its a growth spurt or sleep regression or just normal. My baby used to sleep thru the night without waking for milk since 2.5months. Would sleep as early as 7+pm to 6/7am the next morning. Sometimes 7am+ also havent wake up we need to wake him up for ifc. But recently past few days, at 4.5months, he would always wake up once or twice in the middle of the night for milk. Like around 2/3/4am and then 5/6am. He still naps as per normal during the day average 3 naps.

At 4.5 months, what you are describing sounds very much like the classic 4-month sleep regression, which is one of the most well-known ones because babies go through a real developmental shift in their sleep cycles around this age. The good news is that since he was already sleeping through before, there is a good chance he will find his way back to that once this phase passes, though it can take a few weeks. It could also be a growth spurt layered on top, since both can happen around the same time and the extra night feeds are his way of keeping up with demand. I would just ride it out for now and see if things settle on their own before worrying too much, lah.
