Trying to work out why your 3-4 month old is acting batcrap crazy and waking up at night all over again?! Feel like you had it all worked out and now it’s all changed?Well, so is every other Mum and Dad! Rest assured it is super normal and here’s what is happening.

The first thing you need to do is reframe it from the dreaded “4 month regression” to a developmentally normal progression. Because it is a big one!

Let’s look at what’s happening developmentally for your baby:

Cluster Feeding is a baby putting in their order. To tell your body to make milk. They bring a bunch of feeds together non-stop and basically feed around the clock. On day one of life, they are a little sleepy. Hopefully they do a lovely breast crawl and latch all on their own. They might have a couple of feeds but generally they snooze. You are wide awake mind you, hormones, oxytocin (hello you just had a baby, you rock star you!) So you’re awake and baby is a snoozer.
