    sleep changes

    hi all, my little boy is almost 4 months old and over the last 2 weeks his sleep pattern as changed.. he has been sleepign thru (10-11hrs) since 8 weeks but now hes waking up during the night again - on average every 4 hours..... he wants a feed then goes right back to sleep - im up for 30 mins max each time hes just thirsty or just wanting a snack....... is this normal???

    ive juststarted him on solids but havent given alot - what can i do - i anything???? will he go back to mormal? im missign my sleep and hes getting grumpier quicker... hes a cat napper during the day and feeds every 2 hours still.... is my milk not giving him the right nutrition to stay full? hes developing really quickly - hes ahead of himslef in most areas... im just worried hes not getting enough - yet i seem to have enough milk - but dont get engorged like i used to.... only over night (6 hours) if i get to sleep that mch.. and im drinking like 6 litres of water a day so i am takign in more than enough water to produce milk......

    im just confused... any help would be great!!!

    Yes it is normal! 4 months seems to be the age where bubs become unsettled, start waking overnight or their feeding goes haywire.

    My DS started waking frequently overnight about a week or two before he hit 4 months too. By 5 months he was sleeping through again, all bubs are different and it may go back to normal sooner for you.

    There was another similar thread started the other day that may help you: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...y-changed.html

    It will get better again, I promise. Just know you are not alone
