Four months old and suddenly up every two hours after weeks of five-hour stretches

Our papa was sleeping beautifully, 10 to 3 most nights. Since last week she's up every two hours and wide awake at 4. Ammamma says teeth, my partner says she's just being dramatic. Lectures have started again for me and I'm already doing 9 am classes on nothing. Is this the four-month thing everyone talks about? How long did it last for yours? :)

    That's the age it happened with mine. About three weeks, as far as I remember. Can someone else take the 4 am waking on your lecture days?

      Typing this at 5 with her on my shoulder, so you can guess :) Our care akka comes at 8. Weekends my partner takes one waking, weekdays it's me. Three weeks I can probably survive.

    This is just our experience, and from some years back. Our son had a very similar change at about four months and it settled in two to three weeks, though I can't say whether that was the phase passing or the fact that we moved his bedtime around the same time. If it goes on much longer, or she seems unwell, your paediatrician is the right person to ask.
