[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 months and it was the best parenting decision we made.  Babies need good quality sleep to thrive.  It is cruel to let them be over tired all the time.  Took 3 nights.[/quote]

OP here. He was a happy baby when he was getting quality sleep 0-3 months and then it just got bad. He is always cranky and rarely happy now because he is so tired. Even when he was 0-1 and waking up every 2-3 hours to eat, he was still happy because he was getting sleep. He had such a mood change and was always happy when awake when he started sleeping 5 and then 8 hour stretches and getting good naps. Now he will cry or fuss almost all day. He will yawn and run his eyes but then he won’t sleep very long. He went from putting himself to sleep to needing to be rocked for 20-30 minutes to go to sleep.

We will do a gentle Ferber method with the 3, 5, 10 minute check-ins, etc. [/quote]

The same thing going on during the day is also going on at night, most likely teething. What's wrong with rocking a baby to sleep for 20-30 minutes? Jesus, that's too much comfort to give your own baby?[/quote]

OP here. He is not teething. The pediatrician looked at him and said he is not yet teething. The 4 month sleep regression is what happened. Many babies experience it. We can rock him for that long every nap and night because we work. We are rocking him 4-5 times a night and 4-5 times during the day. [/quote]
