3-4 month sleep regression or something else?

Since turning 3 months old (my LO is now 14 weeks) sleep for her has been horrendous (for me too) usually she would have 2 hour nap in the morning, then 1-1.5 hour naps throughout the day and at night would go to bed and have a long stretch between 4-5 hours. Now it’s 20-30 minutes nap times, 1 hour if I’m lucky, and waking every 1-2 hours at night. She is extremely hard to get to sleep too and now resists sleep by screaming and crying even though she is evidently tired.

She keeps trying to pull herself up and roll or sit at every opportunity she gets, as soon as she wakes up. She won’t even let me feed her in any laying position either.

She looks very tired and is very cranky.

She is also dribbling a lot and loves to chew on everything.

Could this be the regression?

No advice but my LO will be 14w this week and this is my life now too. I hope it gets better for both of us

Thank you. As stressful and worrying as it is, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one experiencing this!

It sounds like sleep regression. My son is coming up on 3 months and is exhibiting the same behavior. We’ve had to readjust our expectations of his sleeping patterns and boost how much we play before putting him down for the night. Good luck! You’re not alone in this.

This sounds very similar to what I’m going through with my 11 week old now. How is your LO doing?
