The two new stages include lighter sleep. The 2 new stages mean more frequent night wakings and shorter naps. This is because for the first time in baby&#8217;s whole life, it&#8217;s easier for them to get woken up and they don&#8217;t yet know how to get themselves back to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">During this time, many parents report that naps that used to be consistent suddenly shrink from 90 to 30 minutes, or that their baby starts  being wide awake every 2 hours again. These changes can seem like baby&#8217;s sleep is taking a step backward, but they\u2019re actually signs that your infant\u2019s sleep cycles are maturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a normal progression that happens before your baby is able to sleep longer stretches overnight. It can be frustrating but knowing why and when it&#8217;s happening, and being prepared to ease the transition can help. Sticking to consistent routines, using soothing techniques like a pacifier and trying to let your baby fall asleep independently can all help with the transition to more mature sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-regular-font-size\"><strong>The 4 Stages of the Sleep Cycle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In order to understand how your full-term baby is developing with regard to sleep around four month&#8217;s old, we first need talk about sleep in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Many of us just think of sleep as an on-or-off situation. You\u2019re either asleep or you\u2019re not. But sleep actually has a number of different stages that make up the \u201csleep cycle.\u201d Starting at 4 months old, the brain matures into going through all 4 of the stages several times a night and this is the cycle we use for the rest of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-regular-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Stage 1<\/strong> is that initial stage we\u2019re all familiar with where you can just feel yourself drifting off, but don\u2019t really feel like you\u2019ve fallen asleep. In this stage, you could still hear your name if someone called you and it\u2019s very easy to wake up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-regular-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Stage 2<\/strong>, considered the first \u201ctrue sleep\u201d stage. This is where people tend to realize, once woken up, that they actually were sleeping. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-regular-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Stage 3<\/strong> is deep and regenerative. Also known as \u201cslow wave\u201d sleep, this is where the body starts repairing and rejuvenating the immune system, muscles tissue, energy stores, and sparks growth and development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-regular-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Stage 4 <\/strong>is REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. This is where the brain starts to kick in and consolidates information and memories from the day before. It\u2019s also the stage where we do most of our dreaming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-4-Stages-of-the-Sleep-Cycle-compiled-by-Let-Mommy-Sleep-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"The 4 Stages of the Sleep Cycle compiled by Let Mommy Sleep\" class=\"wp-image-5950\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:453px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-4-Stages-of-the-Sleep-Cycle-compiled-by-Let-Mommy-Sleep-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-4-Stages-of-the-Sleep-Cycle-compiled-by-Let-Mommy-Sleep-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-4-Stages-of-the-Sleep-Cycle-compiled-by-Let-Mommy-Sleep-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-4-Stages-of-the-Sleep-Cycle-compiled-by-Let-Mommy-Sleep-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-4-Stages-of-the-Sleep-Cycle-compiled-by-Let-Mommy-Sleep.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Once we\u2019ve gone through all of the stages, we either wake up, or come close to waking up, and then start over again until morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-regular-font-size\">Sleep from Newborn to 4 Month&#8217;s Old <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Newborn babies only have 2 stages of sleep<strong>; <\/strong>stage 3 and REM. They spend about half their sleep in each stage. At around the third or fourth month, there&#8217;s a reorganization of sleep, as they embrace the 4-stage method of sleep described above. And as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/English\/ages-stages\/baby\/sleep\/Pages\/getting-your-baby-to-sleep.aspx\" title=\"AAP \">AAP <\/a>notes, babies don&#8217;t have regular sleep cycles until about 4 months of age<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">When the change to the 4 stage method of sleep takes place, baby moves from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/sleep-disorders\/sleep-101\"> 50% REM sleep to 25%<\/a>, in order to make room for those first two stages. Although REM sleep is light, it\u2019s not as light as the 2 new stages of sleep they\u2019re getting used to. With more time spent in lighter sleep, there\u2019s more of a chance that baby <strong>will <\/strong>wake up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Waking up is absolutely natural, and we continue to wake up three, four, five times a night into adulthood.  As adults however, we\u2019re able to recognize that we&#8217;re in bed and safe and we go back to sleep. This usually happens so quickly that we don\u2019t even remember in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For a four-month old infant though, these types of wake-ups are something they&#8217;ve never experienced before in their whole life! So it makes sense that they need our help to get back to sleep. Whether they&#8217;re usually rocked back to sleep, need a pacifier or just need reassurance, your baby most likely will not go back to sleep without your help, and a normal bedtime routine includes your help at this point.

Let me say this part in all caps though: getting baby to sleep these ways are ALL NECESSARY, NORMAL AND NOT &#8220;BAD HABITS.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">To get through the 4 month sleep regression, or any sleep disturbances you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-regular-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Use a pacifier<\/strong> &#8211; At 4 months, more time is spent in light sleep with higher probability of waking up.  If you&#8217;re baby is used to a pacifier, be ready to replace the paci multiple times per night since they&#8217;re still too small to do it. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-regular-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Keep the room dark<\/strong> &#8211; Newborns and infants are not afraid of <a href=\"https:\/\/familysleepinstitute.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/20\/is-your-baby-scared-of-the-dark\" title=\"the dark\">the dark<\/a>. They are however, responsive to light. Light tells our brains that it\u2019s time for activity and alertness, and the brain secretes hormones accordingly, so we want to keep the sleep area darkened, eliminating sunlight and possible flashes of light during naps and bedtime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-regular-font-size\">\n<li>&#8230;<strong>and use white noise<\/strong> &#8211; The other nemesis of sleep is noise. With more time spent in lighter sleep, noises can startle baby awake so white noise is a great addition to your nursery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-regular-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Instill a bedtime routine<\/strong> &#8211; Bedtime routines should be about 20 &#8211; 30 minutes long, and baby should go into their crib while they\u2019re still awake. Feeding should happen first, with whatever calm activity baby likes second and then a diaper change and PJs at the end. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sleeping through the Night and the Four Month Sleep Regression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If your goal is sleep training after 4 months, when the pediatrician agrees it&#8217;s appropriate for baby to sleep long stretches, you&#8217;ll need to instill a new part of the bedtime routine to replace the <em>milk = sleep<\/em>&nbsp;association. Here&#8217;s what that means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Offer breast or bottle when your baby wakes for the day and after naps. Babies are naturally hungry then of course, and feeding while they\u2019re most alert gives their bodies plenty of time to digest before the next sleep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Include a feed at the&nbsp;<em>start<\/em>&nbsp;of the 20-30 minute bedtime routine. This way the bottle isn\u2019t the last step before sleep and baby will not be using milk as their tool to getting to sleep.  Feeding at the beginning of the wind down routine also guarantees you a diaper change, and a clean diaper right before baby goes down for the night. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">If baby always falls asleep while feeding, they\u2019ll associate bottle or breast with sleep, making it harder to learn how to fall asleep on their own. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong>&nbsp;With newborns, you can\u2019t prevent them from nodding off at the breast or bottle and that\u2019s okay.  RN Heidi explains this in <a href=\"https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/2020\/02\/03\/nursing-newborn-try-noclock-method\/\">The NoClock Nursing Method<\/a> As babies get older, they naturally stay awake for feeds, which makes this routine possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Four month old infants typically go about two hours between snoozes, with bedtime between 7 and 8 at night.  Once babies graduate from the four month sleep <em>progression<\/em>, they follow the sleep patterns they&#8217;ll have for the rest of their lives&#8230;four stages repeated multiple times a night! Of course, you may have to sleep train to fully help them sleep through the night if that&#8217;s something you want to do, the <a href=\"https:\/\/letmommysleep.com\/blog\/2023\/08\/22\/ultimate-guide-to-baby-sleep-training\/\">Ultimate Guide to Baby Sleep Training<\/a> has step by step instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-regular-font-size\">Four Month Sleep Regression FAQ&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. How long does the 4-month sleep regression last?<\/strong><br>Most babies experience this sleep disruption for 2 to 6 weeks. Once they adjust to their new sleep cycles nighttime sleep and naps gradually improve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Is sleep training safe at 4 months?<\/strong><br>Gentle sleep training <em>can begin<\/em> around 4 months for full-term, healthy babies but always check with your pediatrician first as  babies&#8217; developmental and physical readiness varies. Start by focusing on consistent routines that gradually wean feeding overnight rather than a \u201ccry it out\u201d method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Can teething cause sleep regression?<\/strong><br>Teething doesn\u2019t cause an entirely new regression, but discomfort can worsen existing sleep challenges and cause waking overnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Should I feed my baby during night wakings at 4 months?<\/strong><br>Many 4-month-olds still need 1\u20132 nighttime feeds, depending on weight and feeding history. With your pediatrician&#8217;s approval you can gradually lessening the amount taken at each feed to pave the way for falling back asleep independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. When should I call my pediatrician about sleep issues?<\/strong><br>If your baby\u2019s sleep suddenly changes along with poor feeding, weight loss, or signs of illness, check in with your pediatrician. Persistent sleep problems beyond 6 weeks may indicate another issue worth evaluating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This article was written with input and review from Pam Jones, RN.
