4 Month Old Baby Sleep Schedule

[@meghantrinidad060800]

Our baby will be 4 months in two weeks. I'd say 3 months we had him on a routine laying him down at 8-8:30 rocking him to sleep and laying him down. Maybe one-two times a night he would wake and get fussy and as soon as we put his pacifier in his mouth he would go back to sleep. No night feeding. Sometimes would feed him right before I left to go to work and that would be either 5 or 6am and then he would go back to sleep. Now as he is about to hit 4 months here soon, he is starting to be more fussy throughout day and night. Recently had a slight cough and high fever. We know he is teething. And did watch your video on your teething video. Not sure if it sleep regression. It's only have been a few days. I'm thinking of starting sleep training here soon!

[@RebekahFOnlineTeaching]

My baby is 12 weeks old. I'm watching this in anticipation of what to do next month. Right now he goes to bed about 9:00 and he wakes up about 8:00 with one or two feeds in the middle. I'm fine with that. His naps are still on demand but I want to create a predictable schedule so that I can teach online while he is sleeping so that is my end goal.

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Rebekah! Congrats on your new little one! That goal is totally doable! Enjoy those sweet newborn snuggles

[@Maryjoowanna]

Yeah that wake window doesn't work for my babe. They like to be UP since newborn has 3 hours + wake windows at times. It's kind of all over the place. Hopeing to establish some kind of schedule soon

[@carmensandiego4325]

I have a 4 month old and we are LOST when it comes to sleep. I am unsure how to implement this into our own life. He wakes up several times a night and ofc I breastfeed him. I'm so tired of being tired and being woken up 3-4 times a night. I'm desperate! I'm finishing out my maternity leave and will be back to work in December and I REALLY want to get to working on this sleep routine and really have it down. The reason I went back to maternity leave from only working 1 month from my disability leave was because I was SO TIRED. I'm also so unsure of when to start.

Hey Mama! Giving you a virtual hug! We would love to help make sleep a thing for your little one and family before you head back to work! Would you mind emailing in to us at [e-mail] and we would love to get you connected to the right course! Hang in there, sleep IS coming!!! 💛Becca

[@crystal7245]

My 4 month old goes down between 7:30 and 8:30. He usually starts feverishly sucking his thumb and that is usually when I feed him. He doesn’t wake up really and when he is finished goes right back to sleep. I would love for him to sleep through the night. Any advice on my proactive feeding at night? Maybe I should wait to see if he cries and let him sooth himself back to sleep? Amy advice would be appreciated.

[@Zwetschgerlisel]

What if a nap is lasting for 3h, when in total they only need 4h of daytime sleep? How does this effect the wakewindows?

[@rcg224]

we're getting over this regression. he's just turned 4 months. he fights every nap and every night time. he screams everytime I go into the nursery. im so tired. I appreciate you giving these resources . things aren't going the best. I love my time with him , but I know I could do better to help him sleep.but I just dont know enough . it's hard without a mother figure to help me , im learning as much as I can.

[@laurayoung1107]

My issue is my baby will wake anywhere between 630am and 7am meaning that his first nap is right at nursery run time if its closer to 7am then we get back just in time for the wake window to end

[@NayeliGP]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@cesiahkoris65]

I have a four month old and nights are getting rough. He wakes up every 45 minutes or so. But the days he is able to nap on his own.

[@1la1dy74]

it means he needs help learning how to sleep on his own. I was going through that same thing with my baby just a few weeks ago and i thought i was going to end. It was SO tough! I started sleep training. And it has changed both of our lives for the better!

[@dorelamolla2641]

⁠​⁠@@1la1dy74what kind of method did u use? I just can’t do the cry out method

[@dorelamolla2641]

My baby is 4 months. His name are only 20/30 min. And even at night he wakes up every 45 min to 1 hour. He does not know how to fall back asleep without my help . I need help as I’m going back to work in 1 month. Is your method the cry out method. I can not do that unfortunately. To let him cry till he wares off

[@emiliegottfridson6887]

Do you wake baby to eat? How long would you wait?

[@foreseengust]

I think the rule is to never wake a baby to eat, unless the baby is a newborn who is sleeping way too long or is underweight. If baby is healthy, just feed them after they wake up.

[@foreseengust]

At 4 months, you're supposed to wake them up if they're napping longer than 2 hours apparently. Not because they can't go that long without food, but because long naps ruin subsequent naps and nighttime sleep.

[@christiannalewis6514]

Ok I'm asking too many questions here, but here's what I can't figure out. You talk about 1 possible night feed at 4-5 months old. How do you determine 1. Whether they need it 2. What time of night to give it and 3. How to get them from feeding 2 or 3 times, down to just once? If you tell me I just need to purchase the course to learn this info that's ok haha😆

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Christianna! My baby course will walk you through step by step how to drop the night feed down to just once between 12-5am :)

[@foreseengust]

The most important thing is to feed the baby enough calories in the daytime, and then the baby won't need to be fed much at night. After making sure to feed enough during the day, feed the baby the first time he wakes up, then try to just rock the baby back to sleep the next time, without feeding. Assuming your baby is 4 months and not underweight.

[@Cezsmile]

What if my baby doesn't want to nap at all after 1 hour and 45 mins? Do you recommend skipping the nap? because I kind of force my baby to nap and she cried a lot and didn't nap at the end.

[@littlezsleep]

If your baby isn't taking a nap or is continually protesting their nap, it's likely they need a schedule change or some other adjustments made with their current sleeping routines! Could you please copy/paste this to our support team at [e-mail]? They'd be so happy to troubleshoot this further with you! 💛 Thank you!!!

[@shelbiecarson2843]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@fullyknownservices]

What if your baby WILL NOT sleep on the go in the car or stroller or carrier? It’s impossible to go anywhere and keep my 4 month old on a proper wake window schedule. My baby ends up staying awake the entire time we are out no matter what!

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Chelsea! We'd love to help you get your little one to sleep better on the go! It can be soo tricky. If you could copy/paste this to [e-mail], our team would love to help you out! 💛

[@anabelsmith5481]

This makes so much more sense!! We have been going through sleep regression for last week! It’s been super hard! I’m starting my routine from tomorrow! I want to add my boy only wake up once at night. This haven’t changed during the regression however falling a sleep is out of window. Before he would fall a sleep within half an hour after feeding max. Now he falls a sleep and wakes up after half an hour and screams for at least 2/2,5h before he falls a sleep again! Nothing helps to calm him down 😢

[@littlezsleep]

I am glad this was helpful!

[@thebiggestp-vk2jp]

My son is 3 months turning 4 & has no type of schedule & it’s hard because I can never get anything down to be honest . Either he won’t sit on his own like in his swing or lay down by himself . He needs rocking and patting & going thru the motions of crying and screaming himself to sleep . Even he gets upset during a nap .

[@littlezsleep]

Hey there! I am sorry you are struggling. If you are ready to make a change, I recommend my baby course! littlezsleep.com/baby

[@Leakmonica]

Hi my son b4 the same , pls try to make him good nap during the day n he will sleep good during the night.i put the wheels on my cot , U can get from Amazon , very dark quiet room even during the day ( I have shutter ) with white noise. I wheel the cot everytime I want him to take a nap .night time ok , he sleep through 12,13h , I only do dream feed. One he has a good sleep, he doesn't cry much.

[@shelbiecarson2843]

My baby is 4 months old and was sleeping through the night, now he’s been waking up twice! I hope it doesn’t become a habit, I’m thinking it’s the regression! He naps 45min to and hour but sometimes won’t take a nap in the afternoon but will cry. So some days we have success with the routine and other days we don’t 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@shelbiecarson2843]

I started this routine with him yesterday !!! So it’s very new. Before that followed something g similar to babywise and it wasnt predictable !

[@littlezsleep]

I'm so glad this video was helpful!! If your 4 month old starts to have more nightwakings I would highly suggest my Baby Sleep Course where you'll have a plan for how to teach your 4mo to sleep 11-12 hours all night with 1 possible night feed! Learn more about that here: littlezsleep.com/baby

[@piafouilloux7152]

Hi Becca! My 4 mo (and 1 week) has been going through the regression. He has been sleeping 6-7 hours stretches since he was about 2 mo. Usually naps 1.5-2 hours but recently has been napping 30-36 mins and I’m not sure how to count the wake window. We have the Snoo so he can stay there super quiet, happy and bubbling to himself for 30 mins. So if he slept for 32 mins and then stayed there for 30 mins. What should I do? Should I try to save the nap for 30 mins? (Sometimes it works!) should I count the wake window since he wakes up, since I take him off the Snoo (even if he has been awake for 30 mins) or something in between? He doesn’t eat at night but he wakes up and he goes back to sleep when we put the paci on. Thank you for your tips!

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Pia! I would recommend getting out of the Snoo, swaddle, and dropping the paci. At this point he is developmentally able to soothe himself to sleep, so those props are actually hindering his sleep. He is waking up after a sleep cycle (30 minutes) and looking for something else to put him back to sleep. If you are looking for a step by step plan to help him fall asleep independently, check out my baby course! littlezsleep.com/baby

[@da1nonly17]

I’m going through the same thing now! How did you fare off??

[@svetlinakoleva9141]

Approximately how long should each nap be?

[@RicardoReyes]

I would kill for 3 hours at night. My 4-month-old since he was 3 months old, sleeps maybe an hour or 2 hours at night with maybe an hour wake window between those sleep hours. Prior to reaching 3 months he was sleeping 6 hours at a time. So for a full month he's just been sleeping maybe an hour to 2 hours at a time at night. Ironically, during the day he can nap up to 3 hours but that's very rare

[@kenimartin8831]

I have a 4 month baby that recently learn to fall asleep independently for bedtime, however he only sleeps in the crib 30 minutes at a time during the day for naps. Is it okay to have more than 4 naps if they are short? Do I still keep them awake for a full 90-105 minutes after a short nap or will their wake window be shorter?

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Keni! Day and night sleep actually use different parts of the brain. I would recommend formally sleep training your little one so that they can learn to take longer naps. We want them to be able to get a couple long naps a day. If you are looking for a sleep training plan, check out my baby course! littlezsleep.com/baby

[@shaynastorey5994]

If she sleeps in her bassinet at night with the hatch sound machine, do I put her in there with that going as well? Or will she get confused?

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Shayna! Yes! You will use the sound machine for all sleep

[@4theFaith]

I need so much help! This is my 3rd baby. And I have NEVER been able to put any of them down and not have them wake up in less than 10 minutes. All naps are on me. And nursed to sleep. I want a schedule just so I can get an idea of what a day can look like but if they get woken up early, which happens often, they need to be nursed back to sleep. Can’t even fathom a schedule with all these interruptions. Help!

I tried all methods with my baby and nothing works . She can be awake for 4 , 5 hours and she is only 3 months old. During the day , she doesn’t nap . I even follow your schedule and she only sleeps for 1/2 hour or max 45 minutes :( and if we are outside which I have to because I have 2 other kids , she doesn’t nap 😢 I am desperate

[@Emilyplek06]

Hi,Becca! My 4 months baby sleeps independently at night and nap times and I try to follow your schedule with 4 naps. He wakes up every morning at 7-7:30 and I try to put him to bed at 7-7:30 pm. But sometimes we cant have 4 naps because he has the first 2 naps of the day of 1h30-1h45 and we end up with just 3 naps because the 4th nap will then be very close to bedtime..but with only 3 naps ,because the last one is usually 30minutes, he ends up beeing awake more than 1,75 h before bedtime. So I don t know how to fix this,should I wake him up from the naps at 1h30 max if I see he sleeps longer?

[@littlezsleep]

Hey there, Emilia! Great question regarding the 4 nap schedule. We recommend capping naps to 1hr15-30 max on this schedule so that you can fit all of the naps in. This may mean you need to wake your little one up from their nap(s). The last nap can be a short, 15-30 minute cat nap, too!

[@Emilyplek06]

Thanks so much!

[@svetlinakoleva9141]

If we wake the baby after 1,5 hours and she is crying and sleepy and cranky, should we allow her to sleep more than 1,5 hours?

[@Blesdup7890]

Does a swaddle hinder self soothing (like the ability to finger suck)? Should baby be out of a swaddle at 4 months so they can self soothe?

[@littlezsleep]

Yes! A swaddle does hinder self soothing! I recommend getting out of the swaddle between 10-12 weeks (unless baby is rolling, then you need to stop earlier)

[@TomJónsson89]

Hi Little Z’s! Love your videos! Our twins were born 1 month early and are now at 4 months. Should we be using the 3 month wake window, or 4 months with them?

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Tom! This is a GREAT question for your twins! We recommend using their adjusted age until they are 6 months adjusted, and then you don't have to consider it any longer!

[@blackfire9786]

Hi Becca! My baby is 19 weeks. Her nighttime sleep is great. Around 11 hours total with one wake. But her daytime naps never total enough sleep. She takes four naps but they are only 30-40 minutes long. She never totals more than 2.5 hours daytime sleep, and often it’s less than 2 hours! She falls asleep independently and almost all naps are in her crib. The environment is good and she usually feeds about 45 minutes to 1 hour before napping. How do we get those longer naps?

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Lisa! Short naps are soooooo frustrating! It sounds like she is on the right track for sleep, but needs some extra help connecting sleep cycles during the day. My baby course will give you a step by step plan to extend those naps and so she can get more rest during the day! littlezsleep.com/baby

[@leeannkelly6663]

ya but how to incorporate feedings into this schedule.

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Leeann! You can feed baby in morning when they wake, after each nap, and before bedtime!

[@emohamed7008]

My 4 months old is going through the regression He wakes up every 45 minutes at night ,and after being sleeping in the crib he refuses it completely now and just sleeps in chest sleeping position day and night Is the regression the one to blame for him wanting to be held day & night?and can I start sleep training during this period with this endless times if waking up through the night ?

[@littlezsleep]

Hi there! The 4 month sleep regression is the period of time when a baby's sleep cycles are maturing and they are ready to learn how to self-soothe and fall asleep independently. This is actually a GREAT time to begin sleep training because your baby is telling you they are ready to be in charge of their own sleep! You can check out our Baby Sleep Course here: littlezsleep.com/baby If you would like, you can email in to us at [e-mail] and we would love to offer some guidance! 💛 Becca

[@henrygarcia8135]

Any tips for if you accidentally created a sleep prop. I was so exhausted for about 3 nights that at the dream feed time I kept him in bed nursing with me. Now each night he wakes numerous times and I’m so tired I just put him in bed with me. He does well at nap times. I’m not sure if I created a sleep prop or if it’s because he hit four months, he’s five months now. Please help with any suggestions.

[@littlezsleep]

Hey there! Congratulations on your sweet, little one! If your little one is 4-5 months old and having a hard time sleeping independently for naps, nights or both, I recommend starting our Baby Sleep Program which is linked in the video description above! This program will help your little to sleep all on their own without any props! ❤

[@rachelrondeau1639]

i read that 30-45 minute naps can be common until 5-6 months…is that true? if baby is showing sleepy cues before 1.5 hours, will they be overtired for nap time?

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Rachel! At 4 months old short naps are usually caused by three things: baby relying on someone to help them fall asleep, incorrect wake windows, a room that is not dark enough. Sleepy cues are actually not a good indication of when to put baby down for a nap! We want to follow wake windows instead so that there is enough sleep pressure for them to take a long restful nap

[@gigi4love990]

Okay this was immensely helpful as I help a family friend with her schedule, however she has triplets 😂 So working out sleep in particular has been tricky as one wants to be up all the time, the other would sleep all day if he could, and the last one will only sleep when he's super tired. They are mainly taking contact naps but the timing is all over the place. Any tips on getting them to all be on the same page (or at least same chapter)?

And she has started to roll over, and when she does roll over at night she starts to cry once she wakes up from being in her tummy because she can’t get herself back over. Any advice? I need help

[@angelagebhardt9493]

My son is 18 weeks old. We put him down to bed at 7pm and he sleeps until about 530-6 for a feed. He falls right back to sleep and then I have to wake him at 7. We've been doing 90 minute wake windows, and I typically have to wake him from the first 2 naps after 90 minutes to feed him and sometimes even the third nap. Do I need to worry about going over 4 hours of daytime sleep if he's still getting the full 12 hours at night? Btw I contribute the good sleep to you because we used the newborn course!

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Angela! The extra daytime sleep could be causing the 5:30 am wake! I would cap it to 4 hours.

[@jennicatroyer9760]

Baby is 15 weeks old we have been teaching her to put herself to sleep awhile, but very soon we will be ready to start "officially" sleep training her, our problem is sometimes even if we are so aware of her wake windows it takes her forever to settle down for a nap so then her wake window gets way stretched out and she can become over tired! Any tips for that? Her first nap of the day she often goes down really well and then wants to sleep really long should we wake her up so she sleeps better for other naps? How long would the "ideal" first nap of the day be?

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Jennica! I would cap that first nap to 1.5 hours so that she has time to nap during the rest of the day. With my program you can formally sleep train at 16 weeks. I think that you will find that when you officially sleep train her, naps will get a lot easier!

[@yanglk2022]

Hi my baby is 9 weeks old now, he doesn’t need pacifier for the evening time but for day naps he need it badly, and will wake up looking for it when it fell off, should I get rid of it now or should I wait until he’s 4 mth old?

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Yang! A pacifier is very helpful for newborns! You don't need to drop it until 16 weeks old.

[@christiannalewis6514]

If my baby was born at 41 weeks, can I start this when she is 15 weeks old?

Yes!

[@nicolesmith1267]

Hi, I wondered what if baby sleeps more than 4 hours? Do we need to limit naps or is 4 hours a minimum? Thanks for this information!!

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Nicole! I recommend limiting daytime sleep to 4 hours, if baby gets too much daytime sleep, that usually leads to night wakings or early morning wakes!

[@hashbrowns88]

Hi there, my son was born 3 weeks early. In just a few days it'll be about 17 weeks since he was born, so technically he'll be 4 months old. However, you mention this sleep schedule should be implemented 16 weeks from the due date, so we're not quite at that mark yet. Feels like he's in sleep regression now. He gets about 7-8 hours of sleep at night, and not sure how we'll get him to 11-12. Is it too early to try getting him on the routine in this video? And do you have any tips for helping the baby self-soothe? Thanks so much!

Hi Becca my little boy sleeps from 8 15 or 8 30 to 8 almost every night. Maybe once every week or 2 he will wake at 5 to feed but not often. His naps are good i wake him from every one because i feed him every 3 hours... will be 16 weeks on Friday but he is normally ok to stay awake for 2 hours after his first nap of the day, so im trying to drop his last nap of the day because he will not nap before the 2 hour mark on that last nap, and if i waited for 2 hours his nap would be from 630 till 7 but then he wouldn't have a long enough wake window before bed at 830. I just dont know how to get around this.

[@littlezsleep]

Hey there, congrats on your little one! At 16 weeks we recommend a wake window of 1h30-1h45m, with a very short on-the-go nap for nap #4 - that way you can fit in all the naps so that you don't run into over-tiredness at bedtime! At 20 weeks you can drop the last nap and jump right into the 3-nap schedule with 2-2.5 hour wake windows!

[@justinmedeiros1611]

Hey Becca, unfortunately with my wife and I's schedule, our baby can only sleep in the crib for 1 nap, and the other naps are at the grandparents house in a bassinet... But he does really well at night (mostly sleeps through the night, sometimes 1 night feed). Do you think this will still work, do you recommend any changes? Thank you!

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Justin! That sounds like a great set up! I would get a pack n play for grandparents' house! At this age, he is probably about to get too big for a bassinet

[@emilylehecka523]

Do we just have a weird baby? There's no way my 4 month old is only awake for 90 minutes to 2 hours at a time. I can't even imagine how to tell him to nap if he doesn't want to. Our night sleep isn't bad though.

[@tarahdrozd320]

Why is my baby only sleeping for 30 mins? He's been cranky all day from nighttime sleep training and he just won't stay asleep

[@kikipereira4601]

What if my baby is 14 weeks and can easily stay up 1.5 hours?

[@littlezsleep]

We recommend a wake window of 1h-1h15 at 14 weeks but there can be exceptions! This length of wake window prevents over-tiredness and short naps! If your little one is staying awake for 1.5 hours at this age, and it's working for you and their naps, then that could be their sweet spot! The beauty is every baby is a little different, and that's why there is a range for wake windows. :)

[@kikipereira4601]

Never mind lol I tried it for one day and he had terrible naps… now did 1 hour and 15 minutes and he’s taking massive naps… man you are a genius…. If he was born 39 weeks… so basically a week early… but full term… so I start him on 1 hour 30 minutes at 17 weeks?

[@jennifero.1174]

My baby (born at 37 weeks and I’m EP) has been sleeping through the night (in her crib) since she was 8 weeks old. We’ve been fortunate to not have needed any nighttime feedings. Her daytime naps are mostly short - but last just under an hour on average. Should we expect a “regression” to occur??

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Jennifer! Congrats on your new little one! Your little one may have a 4 month regression if she is depending on something else to put her to sleep (rocking, patting, singing..) Check out my video on the 4 Month Sleep Regression explained!

Sounds like a great way to stress parents the eff out for not following your set in stone schedule for all babies.

[@carlyescotocalmes3447]

Ok my girl is 17 weeks- we’ve been working on teaching her to nap in her crib for over a month by putting her down for her first nap in there. It seemed like she was getting it as she put herself to sleep AND connected her sleep cycle on Christmas, but since then she’s been resisting it hard and sleeping in there max 30 mins. This morning? 20 mins. The rest of her naps have been contact so she’ll actually sleep, and it feels like she’s tipping into the regression so I haven’t wanted to push it. If 2/4 naps are supposed to be in the crib but in the crib she doesn’t really sleep…how do I do this?! Help!

[@lindseyparker9416]

Baby is 19 weeks and sleeps independently but I'm just not seeing 11 to 12 hours yet! She is a chunk but is still usually up for 1 night feeding.

[@littlezsleep]

Hey Lindsey! It is totally appropriate for baby to have one night feed up to 6 months old!
