The 4 month regression!! I am now doing whatever means necessary to get him to nap without caring about creating bad habits. Please tell me other mother's go through this, from what I read the 4 month regression is quite crappy for a lot of parents/babies because of all the new developments/milestones. Not to mention I just bought the angelcare mat because when he does sleep I'm terrified of SIDS, and now I just am even more antsy anticipating the alarm going off. Why do I wish him to be a year old already? I don't want to miss out on these awesome moments that are happening right now. Why do most mothers when you talk to them not tell the truth about the day in and day out life of a mother, some days are rough!

But yet he is so darn cute and I love him to pieces!!

He is cute! I LOVE those pictures!!!

Motherhood is rough. I don't think you can really know how tough it can be some days until you experience it. Just know that it's okay to feel overwhelmed and frustrated sometimes. You will get through this.

The 4 month regression doesn't last forever so hang in there. For me the in the 5th month things got much better and now I'm enjoying him more than ever.

And try to relax about SIDS. It's really not that common anymore as long as you follow the recommendations (sleeping on back, no blankets, not putting him in bed with you, etc). I'm sure he will be fine.

Lots of hugs......

I didn't even know about this! I obviously have no advice but i hope it gets better soon!!

we went through that and I thought I was going to die (not really, but it was sooo rough). Dont' worry about creating bad habits. He's too young to, and you can change them once you get past this. It's all about surviving the 4 month regression. it's rough but it will pass and he'll be a happier baby soon. Promise!
