Sleep regretion at 4 months

they have a big growth spurt around 4 months.

Oh no, I dont want to hear that tobysmum!!!

We had a problem around 12 - 14 weeks with lots of waking in the night. We are finding it more difficult to settle DS for his night sleep, but once hes down he sleeps well.

Hope things get better for you kellz

I read something in a book once that talked about increased brain activity around the 4-5 month old age.
It's when they begin to see in full colour like adults, their eyes begin to work together, they see in 3D and lots of other complex developments like that.
They have to re-learn to settle themselves to sleep cause they have to learn to switch off and control the new amount of brain activity.

Each baby will differ in when this starts and stops though.

Kellz - Have you joined up with Parents as First Teachers/
If not, try find one in your area. They are great for working through your babies development with you and teaching you about things you can do to help their development. I also love that they give you information so you can SEE the development. There is so much we miss and we don't even realise it until someone points it out

Could this explain grumpiness too? My four month old has been SOooooo grumpy the last few days. I am not sure whether it is lack of bowel motions (hasn't gone properly for days!) or teething? Or neither? :-)
