What is the 4 month sleep regression?

Question

My baby is almost 4 months old, and her sleep patterns have suddenly changed a lot, making her very fussy. Someone mentioned '4 month sleep regression'. What exactly is this, and is it a normal phase?

Dude, it's basically when your baby starts sleeping like crap after sleeping well for a bit. My sister's kid went through this. It's a phase where their sleep patterns change, so they wake up more often. You just gotta power through it.

Oh, the 4-month sleep regression. It's totally normal, don't worry too much. Around this age, babies' sleep cycles mature, so they start waking up more frequently between cycles. Just be patient and consistent with their routine; it usually passes.

I totally get it, it's a rough patch. The 4-month sleep regression is basically when your baby's sleep becomes more like an adult's, with different sleep stages, so they get 'stuck' between cycles more easily. It's tough, but you're not alone!

Ugh, we literally just survived this with our baby! It felt like forever, but it's true, their sleep pattern changes. They become more aware of their surroundings, and it makes them wake up. We just focused on gentle soothing and a consistent bedtime routine.

Is that why my baby suddenly started waking up every hour? I was so worried something was wrong. It's just their sleep maturing, right? Did anyone else feel completely exhausted during this time?
