I don't understand anything at all. For almost as long as he's been born, my son's first nighttime sleep was 4-6 hours, meaning I fed him twice a night. But now for two weeks, he's waking up every 1.5-2 hours — that's 4-5 times. He wakes up, eats, and goes back to sleep. I just can't take it anymore. During the day, he has 3-4 naps, sleeping for 40 minutes to 1.5 hours. Is this a sleep regression? A growth spurt? Or what? When will it pass? Has anyone else experienced this? We're breastfeeding.

Could be a sleep regression, could be a growth spurt, or maybe it's both – you never know! 😁
Sending you patience, you'll definitely get some sleep again someday.

So we slept together, constantly breastfeeding until 1.2 years old when I weaned her.

We almost always sleep like this 😢 it's very rare that we have only 2 feedings during the night, so now we sleep together

Irina Oh no, I won't be able to sleep at all if he's sleeping next to me) It's easier for me to just get up, feed the baby, and then sleep peacefully for at least those two hours)

Natalya Sending you patience! One thing that comforts me is knowing it's all temporary and things will get better soon 🙏

It's the same for us, she'll be 10 months on Monday. She rarely sleeps for 3-4 hours straight at night. Most of the time, she wakes up every 2-2.5 hours at night, and sometimes even every hour. It's tough on the nervous system!

I think it's normal. The baby is three months old, and every day something new happens. Maybe the weather changes, or they suddenly wake up scared and need mom, or teething starts, or they get hungry, or it's a sleep regression. Or suddenly gas pains!

Shashkova Anna Of course, anything is possible. It's just that for the first almost three months, he slept much better. And now, I don't know what's going on

Oh, it's just one thing after another, isn't it? We're going through the same thing.
I'm just happy if there's any break at night, as long as he eats and sleeps.
Sometimes he surprises me, sleeping for 4 hours, but usually it's about 2.
During the day, it's also 40 minutes, and most of the time he needs to be on me or right next to me. I don't know what it depends on.
My daughter was much easier, and this little guy won't take a pacifier 😅

My baby is 8 months old and wakes up 3-4 times a night to feed. Yours is even younger, so they should be waking up more often. So, 4-5 times sounds pretty normal. As they get older, the feedings will decrease.
