3–6 monthsRegressionsNight Waking

The Four-Month Regression No One Warned Me About

Shared by a first-time mum of a 5-month-old

I'm a first-time mum, so I didn't know what was normal or what was different. When he started waking more, I kept searching online and everything felt confusing. Then I read about the four-month regression and thought, okay, maybe other mums are going through this too.

What happened next

Sleep did not change overnight, but understanding that the waking could be part of a common phase made the nights feel less frightening. She started feeling less alone and more able to make sense of what was happening.
