    Ours is only 2.5 months. I was told not to even bother trying a routine till 4 months ish.

      @TinyBreak @stardustingss agree, it’s way too early for routine.

      Have you tried swaddling? My daughter was great in a swaddle up until about 4 months when she started rolling and had to change everything. I found a great swaddling technique on YouTube that was inescapable and she settled down real well with that (she was a bit of a Houdini even quite early).

      Yeah that young I think you basically have to roll with it. Their bed times do eventually shift earlier! Basically you want to get on the other side of the 4 month regression then see what you’re dealing with.

        thank god. Apparently he should be sleeping like 13-15 hours or something, I reckon we’d be lucky to get 8 or 9.

          Mine had a phase of not going to sleep until 1am for a while then randomly just switched to 9-10pm. Then gradually kept moving back and now he goes to bed at 7.30!

          The sleep hour numbers can drive you crazy. Like a few months ago we were told he wasn’t getting enough day sleep so I worked super hard to increase it. Now he sleeps too much 🙃
