You may be hitting a growth spurt, or you're just a tad
early for the 4-month "sleep regression."Ours were
sleeping thru on a pretty similar schedule at 2.5
months with BF and some supplementation, and I can tell
you, at least for us, it finally passed. We found
making sure the room was completely dark (blackout
curtains for streetlights, no nightlights) seemed to
really help. They were just at that age becoming more
aware of their surroundings, and any lights or noises
may have interrupted their ability to self-soothe and
get back to sleep.Just make sure they get a long, full
feed for the bedtime, and here's hoping it works out
for you.FWIW, we did try "controlled crying" (a less
intense form of CIO) around this age with the more
difficult one when he'd get out of sync. It really
seemed to work when he was crying for no apparent
reason. However, in this instance you describe, it
sounds like they are genuinely hungry.Good luck!
