If you’re suddenly feeling like your baby’s sleep has taken a step backwards around the four-month mark, you’re not alone – and there’s good news: it’s actually a normal, healthy progression in your baby’s development (even if it doesn’t feel that way right now!).Around this age, your baby’s sleep cycles are maturing to more closely resemble those of an adult. That means instead of simply switching between “awake” and “asleep,” they’re now moving through more complex sleep stages that support things like memory development, cell growth, emotional regulation, and overall brain and body development.
What Does the Four-Month Sleep Regression Look Like?
Every baby is different, but here are some common signs that your little one might be in the middle of this sleep transition:
If your baby is waking every hour during the night, please know, you are not alone. It can feel exhausting, confusing, and even a little defeating, but rest assured: you are doing nothing wrong. Frequent night waking is incredibly common, and many parents go through this phase. Let’s explore what’s normal, what might be going on, and how you can gently support your baby (and yourself) through it.
In the early weeks, it’s completely normal for babies to wake frequently. Newborns have tiny tummies and need to feed often. Their sleep cycles are much shorter than adults, typically around 45 to 50 minutes, and they often stir as they transition between these cycles.
When it comes to the safety and wellbeing of premature and low birthweight babies, every detail matters - especially when choosing a car seat.
Recognising the differences between a baby's skin and our own is the foundation for making lifelong habits of positive skincare. First days of life - When we are born, we are covered with a waxy, creamy-white coating, called vernix. It’s our natural protection against the amniotic fluid in the womb. It also provides an extra layer of fat to help keep heat shortly after birth.
