Does anyone else's 5-month-old have random wake-up times at night?
My son used to go down at 8pm and sleep until 5am pretty consistently. Now he's waking up at like 11, then 2, then sometimes 4. Sometimes he goes back down quick, sometimes he's up for 45 minutes. I read something about the 4-month sleep regression but he's 5 months now so shouldn't that be over? Or is there another one coming that I'm not prepared for?
The random wake-ups at 5 months hit different because you were just getting COMFORTABLE with the 8pm-5am schedule. Welcome to the regression my friend, buckle up for a few weeks of this
4-6 month regression is the worst because you forgot what the newborn chaos was like and your body got used to sleep. It'll pass though, then you get like 2 months of decent sleep before the next one hits
